Bug Description

Now that I've plugged in and installed my HP LaserJet 1020 (which works perfectly in Lucid), at startup I get a bunch of these messages in my boot.log (shown after the messages and before gdm at startup, when splash is disabled):

udevd[395]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_<model>.rules:<6/9>

I get about a dozen or so, two for each LaserJet model that has its drivers now installed. Doesn't affect my usage of the printer, it works fine, but it shouldn't really be there either.

I was able to fix the problem doing the following... i hope this helps.
i boot up using a live disk (in this case fedora)
in the shell here is what i did
#cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
#cp 45-libnjb.rules 45-libnjb.rules-bk
#sed -i "s|SYSFS|ATTRS|g" 45-libnjb.rules
#shutdown -r now

then i got another error and i was able to fix it by commenting out the following line from /etc/fstab
#none /media/usb vfat defaults 0 0
