I tried booting with init=/bin/sh and executing "strace /sbin/start_udev" after
manually mounting /sys and /proc. (udevd exits when /sys is not mounted).
It prints a syscall trace, but it get running quickly, and at the end of process 
I get a Kernel panic message with call trace messages which are filling all 
screen and I can't see strace output as I can't scroll screen buffer back by 
Shift-PgUp because linux is dead, Also I tried to redirect strace messages to 
file but filesystems are mounted readonly and can't write files to disk. Also 
when panic occurs, linux doesn't sync files with cache. So, I'm in a spot. :( 
What else can I do?

WBR,
