Please assist on solution eeepc give error udevd-event with lib udev error when booting up
How can i get pass error or fix
Thanks

Please provide the exact text of the error message.

Does Linux stop at that point or does it continue to boot?

What distribution and version of Linux are you using?

Message udevd-event(did not write down number)about rule and on end /lib/udev

Linux goes on in loop at message and unfortunately does not display anymore and keeps restarting

Asus 700 ACP with Xandros

Thanks,downloading rescue to see if that will help

No luck with rescue iso,unable to get USB stick to work on eeepc with reboot

I have an Eee 8G running the original Xandros & dual-booting MEPIS 8.0 on a 16G SD card, so I may be able to help. OTOH, if I had this problem I would take it to my Wednesday Workshop, so I may not be able to help as much as I would like.

Questions:

1. May we assume that your Eee came w/ Xandros installed?
2. Do you have any helpful links handy? -- Save your helpers from re-doing your searches.
3. What searches have you already tried?
4. The previous request for the exact error msg. would probably lead to a suggestion to Google the msg. Like this:
   http://www.google.com/linux?q=%22Message+udevd-event%22
5. Do you know about Google Linux?
6. Assuming you can put it on an SD card, have you tried booting the rescue ISO from one?
7. Do you have/can you make an external optical drive available?

Feel free to number your answers according to this list.

Hi
Thanks for your input
Correct w/Xandros installed
Did search and found rescue iso on http://sourceforge.net/projects/syst...4.iso/download
And also to set up usb stick on http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-m...d_from_Windows
Will check your sites suggested
Tried booting from usb but did not work
Got external drive,but assumed usb will work better but look like some sticks not working

Other option to reset to factory settings on options holding F9 when booting up

Regards
Bertie

Hi
The other options can i edit/delete rules on commands option when booting holding down F9 and getting
Grub>

Summary
Your Eee is presently useless because it won't boot.
You are getting a strange to incomprehensible error msg. when you try to boot it.
System Recovery method #3 (as listed in my User Guide on pp. 6-8--6-11) is not working for you.
You are probably frustrated, & ready to channel Alexander the Great (see my sig. block ).

Next steps
What I recommend you do next depends on:

1. how fast you need this solved,
2. how much data you will lose if you go directly to System Recovery,
3. how interested you are in a deep understanding of the problem,
4. & how much patience you have left.

A. If time is important & patience is low, then continue w/ a System Recovery. <F9> is the 1st method mentioned in my User Guide (p. 6-7), so try it. I don't remember clearly, but I think that is what I did w/ mine. (Not because I had a boot problem, but because I got mine 2nd hand & wanted to restore its "virginity".)

B1. If you have the time & patience, boot from any Linux bootable CD & back up your data. My choices would be MEPIS (it's my regular distro) or Knoppix.

B2. Also consider doing a "bare metal" back-up using Clonezilla or equivalent. I am reasonable adept w/ Clonezilla & can help through the process.

C. If you have the patience, get the error # from the msg. you referenced in your OP, run the suggested Google search, & post the results; I will take the problem to my H(ouston)LUG experts tomorrow at our regular Wednesday Workshop.
