Looking in dmesg output for the first error messages shows: udevd[69]: bind failed: Address is already in use udevd[69]: error binding udev control socket systemd[1]: udev.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1 : systemd[1]: udev.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart. systemd[1]: Unit udev.service entered failed state. systemd[1]: udev.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start : modprobe[133]: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.3.1-3.fc16.i686/modules.dep: No such file or directory mount[95]: mount: unknown filesystem type 'binfmt_misc'
Checking /lib/modules/3.3* shows that it indeed does not contain any modules.dep file. Should it? Is there perhaps a change to Linux 3.3 so it no longer uses that file? To be continued...
