A few weeks before the release of 11.04, there was evidently an update which
caused at least part of the problem to cease. I still saw the 10.04
background on the login screen (which switched immediately to the 10.10
background once I had logged in), but the udev message no longer appeared.
I won't go into my reasons for doing this but, rather than try a network
upgrade on this particular computer (Asus Eee PC 1000/Linux, formerly with
Asus' proprietary distro but replaced with Ubuntu last year), I decided to
'wipe' (with DBAN) and completely reinstall Ubuntu (with 11.04).
I have very few programs on this computer; my wife and I use it when
traveling to get e-mail, listen to internet radio stations, and so forth.
It has two hard drives, both SSDs - 8 GB (primary) and 32 GB (secondary).
(Why Asus made it this way I cannot understand; until you really get to
understand how to coordinate the two drives, it can be a real pain.)
The 'wiping' process took a couple of hours; reinstallation of Ubuntu took
only a half-hour and the configuration to our tastes took another hour.
Now everything works perfectly. I recommend that anyone who is annoyed by
this udev message (or who is having some other problems) consider wiping and
reinstalling.
It has certainly worked for me.
