[SOLVED]Udevd fails to recognize rules in /lib/udev/rules.d

I've been having a few crashes since the update of udev earlier this week (so far only on my laptop where the Xserver hangs and requires a hard reboot to get anything working again).  While investigating the logs, I ran across the following errors:

These errors have appeared since the 24th of October (the last marked update day for the udev package).  I'm also slightly concerned about the first 4 lines, where udevd "starts" version 173 and then version 174.  According to pacman -Q udev, only version 174 is installed.

Upon investigating the folder, I find that all the "missing" files are present:

Can anyone confirm this?  If I get confirmation that this is indeed present for other users (and a bug, not a "feature"), I'll open a bug report for the udev package.

Also, semi-related, in the post-install message from the udev package they refer you to the folder /etc/udev.d/rules, however, that directory structure doesn't exist on my system, and the old /etc/udev/rules.d is still present.

I'd appreciate any information or input.  If any further information is required, I'll gladly supply it.

Thanks, I hadn't considered that.  I've recreated the initramfs and will edit this post/post back to see if it had an impact on the other logged errors.

*EDIT* After a reboot my log contains exactly 2 lines concerning udev, and that is simply a log of udev starting (version 174).  As such I am marking this [SOLVED]

Re: [SOLVED]Udevd fails to recognize rules in /lib/udev/rules.d

And what for the ones that use a static kernel, without initramfs?

I use that, and I don't have any issues. Udev starts ok, everything is working. The only udev message dmesg shows is "udevd[70]: starting version 174"

Re: [SOLVED]Udevd fails to recognize rules in /lib/udev/rules.d

Since the upgrade to 174, thunar doesn't mount anymore external hdd or usb. I removed my user from storage group.
Searching for solutions I find out that I have the same errors in the logs that lswest has.

Edit: a fresh installation of udev seems stopping error message flooding in errors.log, but I still can't automount drives and reboot/shutdown with dbus-send method.
