Hi,

I found the problem in update-rc.d. There is a little logic error in one
of the functions update-rc.d. After i fixed that it worked again:

arjan at nebula:~$ ls /etc/rcS.d/*udev*
/etc/rcS.d/S03udev  /etc/rcS.d/S36udev-mtab
arjan at nebula:~$ sudo update-rc.d udev start 03 S .
 System startup links for /etc/init.d/udev already exist.
arjan at nebula:~$ ls /etc/rcS.d/*udev*
/etc/rcS.d/S03udev  /etc/rcS.d/S36udev-mtab

I have included the patch below

                print "   $fn is not a link to ../init.d/$bn; not removing\n";
                next;
