Problems after upgrade to udev - can't start X



Hi all,
I recently upgraded from sarge to etch, and I ran into a problem that seems to be related to udev.  During the upgrade, hotplug was removed and udev was installed.  Afterwards, I received the following error message when trying to log in (via gdm): Error creating the child process for this terminal.  If I revert back from udev to hotplug, the problems subside.  I really want to make the transition to udev so that I can use the latest version of gnome-volume-manager.  It seems one or two people have experienced similar symptoms, but the fixes they used didn't help me at all.

Gateway Solo 5300 - PIII 900, 384MB, etc...
kernel: 2.6.12-1-686
gnome: 2.10.2
trying to remove hotplug 0.0.20040329-25 and install udev 0.076-6 and hal 0.4.8-8

Thank you for any help!
Rich
