Well that comes from calling accept4() in udev.  and "Function not implemented"
means the libc returned ENOSYS which basically means your kernel doesn't have
that system call.

That's a long winded way to saying it looks like your udev is too new for your
kernel.

Make sure your kernel and udev match:

That can also mean that you don't have console.  rather then the system has
hung.

Try pinging the system to see it it has really hung.

To fix it you're basically going to have to boot into single user mode and make
sure everything is in sync
