This is not helping. Please reboot the system with init=/bin/bash,
manually run:

/etc/init.d/mountvirtfs start
/etc/init.d/udev start

and check what really happens.

I find hard to believe that such a bug is exposed only on your system.

If udev breaks, you can disable it by disabling the init script.

Or else, add to the top of the init script:

if [ "$DISABLE_UDEV" = "yes" ]; then
  echo "udev disabled by a kernel parameter
  exit 0
fi

and you will be able to disable it by adding DISABLE_UDEV=yes to the
kernel command line.
