Well, normally I hate to answer my own post, but in this case I'm
ecstatic.  Setting UDEV_INITRD="yes" and regenerating the initrd fix my
situation.

kernel=2.6.8-1.549
MAKEDEV-3.13-1
udev-030-26

I was bitten by this too - the removal of dev broke things a bit. However, I'm not using an initrd as I'm compiling my own kernels from kernel.org.


What is the best way to work around it in this situation? Am I about to be forced to use an initrd?
