I found that there is also a "diet hotplug", which could be more
suitable for small systems and can be even used in initd.rd images.
Although it seems to be in an early state and has not changed since
August 2001.

Anyway hotplug needs the kernel include files and the modules to link.
Maybe you can append the INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd`/modules/ 
to your kernel make after you finished building buildroot without
hotplug and build hotplug (udev) after that.


Best Regards
Kristian
