FUCKING HELL, I've just found out what the problem was, this is what I
was passing to my kernel at boot:
DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
KERNEL linux
APPEND root=/dev/ram0 initrd=initrd ramdisk_sizeˆ00 init=/linuxrc
rw vga=6
and guess what, I was smart enough to put the bare minimum under /dev
like "console, null, tty, zero" just to give me enough to boot into
shell, but I failed to make a /dev/ram0 entry. So without it, udev was
running OK, but for some reason it wouldn't add devices to /udev.
Basically adding an entry under /dev which corresponds to a device on
which the root filesystem is mounted fixed the problem. So for all of
you out there BEWARE!!!
Cheers guys, udev works now!
