When I boot into single safe mode I have to manually start udev to get network going:
/etc/init.d/udev restart
I tried both of those solutions but still get the same problem.

If you already have this and it doesn't work or if for some reason you can't install it,
then the easiest fix is probably to edit the status file and fix the version number. Make
sure you backup the file first.

There is this in dmesg but I don't think it has anything to to with the problem:
Code:
[ 13.312131] /build/buildd-linux-2.6_2.6.32-21-amd64-bEMv9E/linux-2.6-2.6.32/debian/build/source_amd64_none/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed
It did boot into the GUI before this started happening after the 1st update, but the mouse and keyboard would not work, so I reset the box and went into safemode boot, then did the apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade when this started.
Can I manually install udev? That seems to be a problem as it's not starting automatically.
