  I tried udev-126-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz. My machine still booted fine. The 
only problem that I noticed is that the /dev/sg0  device that it creates 
for my external USB DVD/CD-RW doesn't have the write permission for the optical group:
$ ls -l /dev/sg0
crw-r----- 1 root optical 21, 0 2008-08-29 18:42 /dev/sg0


The permissions for sr0 are correct though:
$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw---- 1 root optical 11, 0 2008-08-29 18:42 /dev/sr0
