i've stopped doing this on my boxes just to see how far along udev has come 
(and boy, it's almost there for everything i need it for :D) ...

i noticed that on my machines that use framebuffer devices, fbX wasnt being 
created, and on my ppc laptop, some adb related-nodes werent being created, 
so the way i've worked around it is to change the init scripts to 
run /etc/udev/udev.local instead of untaring the devices.tar.bz2 ... this 
script just creates a bunch of machine specific nodes via mknod and sets 
their perms correctly

i'm just glad udev is arch independent so i havent been forced back into devfs 
on some of my machine ;)
