what's the exact message? ( ie /var/log/dmesg - should be there I
think... the X one I can't remember...)

Also, are you very sure its udev that's causing the problem? The
default YDL boots to X you see.

It might be coming from one of the startup scripts I think. xmodmap
(the executable) is part of X which sets your keyboard map etc...

I noticed you typed Xmodmap - and you referred to /etc/X11 -  you
possibly may be referring to the default config file which I think X
parses as it starts.

In which case I have a hypothesis - the file might have been corrupted
in that inadvertent system shutdown.

Perhaps someone here with a lot more X knowledge can help. Maybe  'man
xmodmap' - there might be more info there.

This also begs another question: if one file is corrupt, what else could be?

I would suggest making frequent backups of your linux install just in
case something gets really messed up - I experiment a lot, you see, so
I do ;)
