Then, it complained about /dev/null not being writable. Sure enough,
/dev/null was a regular file with bytes in it. *sigh* Created that as:
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Feb 23 2004 null
No luck. Booting still had major trouble. Finally I gave up:

I actually noticed this after I upgraded my udev. Fortunately, I didn't
reboot! I checked out my /dev directory and noticed that null was a
regular file and there wasn't a heckuva lot in there. I
ran /sbin/udevstart and it recreated everything and life was good. When
I rebooted later things came up with no problems.

When I freshly installed a system using the RC1 candidate isos, I had
trouble until I took the advice of an RH employee and ran udestart as
root and had trouble until I rebooted the computer. Before running this
command manually, I could not burn CDs. This is not as bad as not
booting, but a pecularity.<br>
