I've to borrow an other keyboard: mine is usb and not initialised yet
at this level.

Anyway, I have got some arror message about the node for my root
filesystem (which is on lvm)

Anyway, when I've started the system with the new version of udev, I
gor the following error:

<<
The device node /dev/mapper/vg00-root_lv for the root filesystem is
missing, incorrect or there is no entry for the root filesystem in
/etc/fstab. The system is also unable to create temporary node in
/dev/shm to use as a work-around. This means that you have to fix this
manually.

Ok done, this save me from using a live cd to recover.
