The problem appears to be that some people end up with udev starting
both in rcS.d and rc2.d.  Starting udev twice does NOT work.

On the other hand starting udev in rcS.d and stopping it in rc2.d does
not fix things.  Sure it means you don't start udev twice, but it also
means you end up with udev not running at all.  What you want it udev
running exactly once.  That means starting in rcS.d only, and not in
rc[2345].d.  Not starting is not the same as stopping.
