Was empty

Yes was present

ran depmod ae and rebooted

Modules now loaded so now have network and sound back!
still got udev failed to start in boot

Not sure if it has really changed, but the character displayed now is 
not @, but ? in a coloured box
Maybe I got it wrong before! Old eyes etc etc etc

Replying to this in THunderbird within Gobo so am moving on, but there 
still seems to be issues

aprt from udev in boot starting a root terminal gives 'zsh: segmentation 
problem' message after entering password, but does seem to work after that

Also one funny thing there is a circular reference as 
/System/Kernel/Modules/2.6.20.4-Gobo/2.6.20.4-Gobo is a link to itself!
This circular reference is also in 2.6.17.11 so may be linked (sic) to 
this problem

Is there a log I can send that will show any udev problems?

I still do not have a clean system so am I better of re-installing and 
starting again now you have fixed the kernel package! I am quite happy 
to soldier on with suggested fixes if it is helping with debugging. Also 
I am learning things myself!!!

Obviously havnt tried to do anything constructive yet so dont know how 
much is working, but kde, thunderbird, sound, network, root Konsole 
(apart from the zsh glitch) seem to be ok
