Okay, something is screwed up with udev. Is udev started?

Ah!

Ok... this is shown as an error when before the "failed to open the

Startin udevd... error getting signalfd

What kernel are you running?

You need at least 2.6.22 to have signalfd support, and at least 2.6.27
to have reliable signalfd support. If this is not satisfied, please
either downgrade udev or upgrade your kernel.


Many thanks. Upgrading to 2.6.31 resolved the problem, although it did take a couple of extra kernel compiles & reboots, allowing for the / dev/hdX -> /dev/sdX changes & compiling drivers for the EIDE controller.

Many thanks to everyone who posted.

Stroller.
