I installed Udev in an atempt to get my Minolta PagePro 1200W to work, it didn't. Anyway, I like Udev and will stick with it.

My problem now is that while booting the checkroot complains about me not having some reiserfs.chk or something like that. And later checkboot says something is wrong with my root partition and asks me to either press ctrl-d or enter root password and check the partition manually. I figure it's got something to do with the udev since it worked before and I saw that the devices changed name to /dev/BOOT and /dev/ROOT. I use reiserFS for my root and ext2 or 3, not sure, for my boot partition.

I'm feeling totally inept here, what information do you need to help me?

Try running fsck. For help running that, check the man pages for reiserfsck.
You're also going to have problems if your /etc/fstab file points to /dev/BOOT and /dev/ROOT (BOOT should be changed to the boot partition, e.g., /dev/hda0, and ROOT should be changed to the / partition, e.g., /dev/hda5).
Can you post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf file? I think that would help us determine which drives to put in your /etc/fstab file. It may also help to post the output of:
