Greetings Morten:
Same general thing happen to me. It seems that something ate udev in
the last upgrade - it's not being started during the boot process on my
sid machine.
I never paid close attention to where it was being started from before,
so I don't know exactly where to put it back. As a quick fix, creating
a symlink in /etc/rcS.d to ../init.d/udev at level 11:
ln -s ../init.d/udev S11udev
has fixed the problem enough that the machine will boot properly.
Good luck.
