I'm glad we could narrow this down.

Thanks Eric, keep us posted.

We already have a list of required kernel features we check for in
udev.preinst [1].

We do have a check for open_by_handle_at(2)  (CONFIG_FHANDLE). So I'm
surprised this check didn't work for you.

Which version of udev are you running? This particular check was added
in 204-9.
