Just a heads up, if not known already.

udev in karmic is using signalfd(2), which doesn't exist in kernel < 2.6.25.

On EC2, both alestic images and the official one upgraded from jaunty fail with:

root at ip-10-244-15-193:~# udevd
error getting signalfd

strace shows:
8706  SYS_327(0xffffffff, 0xbfc5238c, 0x8, 0, 0x2f4ff4) = -1 ENOSYS (Function
not implemented)
8706  write(2, "error getting signalfd\n", 23) = 23

The kernel is (alestic image):
2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen
