Happy two year bug anniversary.  As of now I can't even mount a disk on the
first try.

I'm a little vague on what happened to the kernel between 2.4 and 2.6 and
whether it's all udev's fault, but my problems are certainly consistent with the
(WILL_NOT_FIX) regression discussed in the udev thread archived at

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_view_flat;post=407950;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;list=linux

FWIW I am still not running udevd.
