strange messages when starting udev

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • At the time of booting realtime kernel following messages occur when /sbin/start_udev is excuted.

------------------
Starting udev: pidof[2156]: can't get program name from /proc/2137/stat

pidof[27564]: can't get program name from /proc/27111/stat

pidof[28780]: can't get program name from /proc/28650/stat
-------------------
                                                         
I found out, that the messages are thrown by the /sbin/udevsettle command. These messages occur only in 90% of the boot processes.
