[SOLVED]Udev: libkmod.so.2 not found

After updating, udev complains it can't find/load libkmod.so.2 at boot-time. I linked /usr/lib/libkmod.so.2 to /usr/lib/libkmod.so.2.0, but I still get the same error. I don't have a modprobe.conf file, and no modprobe.conf.pacsave to restore either. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

You need /usr/lib/libkmod.so.2.0.0; *.so and *.so.2 are symlinks, while *.so.2.0 doesn't seem to exist at all.

Re: [SOLVED]Udev: libkmod.so.2 not found

I linked /usr/lib/libkmod.so.2 to /usr/lib/libkmod.so.2.0.0, sorry for the typo. My problem has been solved, thanks to someone on IRC whose name I can't remember.
I booted a live-cd, chrooted into my installation, reinstalled kmod and recompiled my initrd. Not sure what caused it though. I hadn't updated my installation for some time, could that be the problem?

Thanks for trying to help, anyway!
