How about creating a vm with > Arch and getting an alternative to udev running? I do this all the time with buildroot; udev is a choice, and I often have trouble compiling it because it depends on so many things, like specific kernel configurations, and certain toolchain options. The fact of the matter is that udev doesn't do much for me, CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y does most of the job, the rest is loading the right modules at boot time, which can be done with a simple script. There's also mdev from busybox, but it's too simple, I don't really understand what is the point of it. But there's certainly people that don't use udev at all: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
