What you mean that mdev or udev does not create device nodes ???
If older kernels don't support devtmpfs like Baruch
said then who does that device node creation if not the mdev or udev 
when event happens ???

for mdev it's just a single file, /etc/mdev.conf (I can even copy-paste
it here, it's not that long and will cover 99% of needs).

for udev it punch of rules found under /lib/udev/rules.d and yes, it can
get really tedious to play games with those files if some device node is
not created or
is not created with right permissions or whatever.
