On a 2.6.12 kernel running Debian sid, after relying on hotplug up until now, I installed udev 0.081-1. When I reboot, right after the kernel starts loading and the entry before the bootlog daemon starts, I get "* udev requires a mounted procfs, not started. Failed!". Once booted, udevd is not running, but df -a shows

Reinstalling udev starts udevd and it seems to work fine, but the problem recurs on reboot.

How do I fix this?

Looks like you broke your system some way, because /proc is mounted by S02mountkernfs.sh.

Thanks -- I take it you mean S02mountvirtfs. In fact, adding mountvirtfs to S (in sysv-rc-conf or ksysv) does the trick.
