hey rainer yeah i wouldn't go with sid, it's fun to play around with yet not for a server install.
sysinit vs systemd is up to you. i haven't had a problem with systemd, it's just another thing that you have to read about to get the hang of it. you will have to forgive me for not reading all the way through your original post and not noticing that this is a hosted system. i took a look at my virtual testing machine's '/lib/systemd/system/systemd-udev.service' -- 17 [Service] 18 Type=notify 19 OOMScoreAdjust=-1000 20 Sockets=systemd-udevd-control.socket systemd-udevd-kernel.socket 21 Restart=always 22 RestartSec=0 23 ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd 24 KillMode=mixed 25 WatchdogSec=3min 26 TasksMax=infinity 27 MountFlags=slave 28 MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes 29 RestrictRealtime=yes see if yours are similar. take a look at 'man systemd-udevd.service', it doesn't talk about the service arguments, yet gives references to other man pages. em
