Set udev_log="debug" in /etc/udev/udev.conf then reboot. This should then pass much more verbose information to syslog. I also found the following post in the linux-hotplug-devel mailing list on SourceForge: "Recall that I replaced /sbin/udev{start} by strace -o /var/log/udev.log.`uname -n`.${$} \ -f /sbin/utest/`basename $0` $ <at> and moved the original udev and udevstart to /sbin/utest/ " Also, read this: http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html - K.
