Upgrading to current udev is disastrous if not on kernel 2.6.12

[Ed <edd@avenuedesign.net>]

I don't usually report these types of problems but this one was particularly nasty. I just had a major disaster by upgrading to udev 0.62. It requires a kernel 2.6.12. 
After a system reboot my system wouldn't function due to lacking /dev/sda2-5 etc.
I sorted it out by coping a new kernel source onto the system and recompiling.

Anyway the moral to the story is:
Don't install this package unless you have upgraded your kernel!!!!
