FTR, my message was:
 Loading udev... input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as ...

It stucked there for a few minutes then proceeded with
"Alarm clock
Done"
etc, etc.

Only dm_mod was loaded so it failed mounting the root partition and
dropped me in a recovery shell.  I haven't tried udevadm or modprobe
but udevd was running and lsmod was working.  I sent my broken image
to Thomas and everything was there.  Very strange.
