I saw a message that said something about some kernel option that was

I found it in /var/log/messages. It said:
Nov 23 15:37:07 camille kernel: udev: missing sysfs features; please
update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
option; udev may fail to work correctly
Nov 23 15:00:01 camille sudo: michael : TTY=pts/4 ; PWD=/home/michael ;
USER=root ; COMMAND=/etc/init.d/udev restart
I'm rebuilding the kernel with that option disabled, but in the meantime
why did Mythtv forget my programs set to record? I checked that mysql
is running, and it is, I checked mythbacked. The only discrepancy I can
find is the existence of /dev/video0...
I also had this message for maybe a week before I rebuilt the kernel
(same way as you). The only difference I noticed was that the error
message went away, but maybe it had some effect on your hardware?

Since I hadn't rebooted in a while, I don't know what changed on mine
either. It appears udev was still working tho. I noticed this when I
went to single user and typed in the wrong process number and killed
udev. I restarted it and got the error the OP got. I figured I would
fix it while I was already that close to a shutdown anyway.
I suspect tho that MythTV sort of complicates things by needing udev to
create things not needed on a system without MythTV.
For the record OP, if you are on baselayout-1, you can start udev by
typing in /sbin/udevd --daemon. I'm pretty sure you have to be root to
do that tho.
