[SOLVED] udev not found

Hello archers!
My first thread here. I've been happy with my archbox for over a year now, i think, without any problems so far.

But now unfortunately I think have this bug http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18810?project=1
Now im trying to fix it by doing what Peter Foster said in the comments, to chroot in from archiso and remove autodetect from hooks in mkinitcpio.conf , then run mkinitcpio -p kernel26.

but mkinitcpio fails and says (same with pacman -U older_kernel26):
FATAL: Hook 'udev' can not be found.

I read in another thread (cant find it again) that it failed like that because they didnt have the correct mounted stuff in the chroot, and that was:
# mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
# mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
# mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

because same problem after mounting those, or is that incorrect or do i need to mount more or what what am i doing wrong?

EDIT:
solved it by updating the livecd and then doing the mkinitcpio -p kernel26 on the livecd copying the .img's to my old /boot/
