FWIW In the udev 058 announcement, Greg said:

"Note, if you are running a kernel newer than 2.6.12-rc4 (including the
-mm releases) and you have any custom udev rules, you MUST upgrade to
the latest version to allow udev to work properly.  This change happened
because of a previously-unrealized reliance in libsysfs on the presence
of a useless sysfs file that has recently been removed.  Hopefully the
libsysfs people will be releasing a new version shortly with this change
in it for those packages who rely on it."

Just a reminder because I bet many people will get caught out by this!
