Help! Udevd doesn't work any more.

clouds222

Each time when I boot to system w/ udevd start at sysinit level, the monitor will turn off and I can't switch to other tty.

The system is still running, and can be resetted by ctr+alt+del.

I removed it from the sysinit level, and the system can boot, but the monitor will turn off when I run /etc/init.d/udevd start

I remove all the udev rules, and no help.

the last line shown on the screen is:

sounds more like a xorg-server/display manager/window manager/desktop problem. Which ones (with version numbers) are you using?
if you are trying to boot directly into a GUI suggest you change to boot to a CLI while troubleshooting. e,g,; remove xdm from default run level.

I don't have an XDM installed, and I removed gdm from default initialize list. And set the defualt init level to 3. And seems no good.
The monitor will not be turned off unless I run udevd start. But since I removed udevd from sysinit list, many devices can't work.
