Problems with udev upgrade

I rebooted today, the first time after udev was updated. Not sure what happened but udev failed to start properly and cause a lot of issues. No drivers loaded so gdm would start but just freeze.

The only way I figured it out was to go back through the pacman.log. When I re-installed udev an error finally came up on reboot. udev was still trying to run from /sbin/udevd. I had to manuallly change the links in  rc.sysinit and rc.single to /usr/bin/udevd for both udevd and udevadm. Shouldn't this have been done when udev was ugraded? My one remaining issue is that i have to manually reload my nic driver r8169 to get network to work.  Any Suggestions?

Re: Problems with udev upgrade

On my system in rc.sysinit and rc.single there's only a reference to udev_modprobe.
Check the version of initscripts, it was updated at the same time as udev and should be 2012.02.1.-1

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Problems with udev upgrade

I'll check the initscripts when I get a chance... but as for the network issue I'm guessing it is the same reason as this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134012
