again repling to myself :-)
it looks like scsi exports all the needed information,
but i run ide and it doesn't export it :(

haven't you already submited them ?-)

i've extracted something from your tree usb-2.5
but i'm not sure if everything is in place, and 
if i haven't missed some bits
could you may be take a look at MSxx series 
http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/cook/2.6/udev/

it does boot and it seems to work
/* and my "/udev" is getting near to /dev filled by devfs */
although udev doesn't register 2 devices
under devfs - snd/seq & snd/timer

and i'm wondering how could i make a rule 
to register a number of devices (with strange names :) )
with the same names in /udev/snd/ , not in /udev
----------------------------------------
[svetljo@svetljo snd]$ ls /dev/snd/
controlC0  midiC0D0  midiC0D2  pcmC0D0c  pcmC0D1c  
pcmC0D3p  timer hwC0D0     midiC0D1  midiC0D3  
pcmC0D0p  pcmC0D2c  seq
----------------------------------------

i couldn't find anything regarding raw 
devices in the usb-2.5 tree :(

best,

svetljo
