Well, normally I hate to answer my own post, but in this case I'm ecstatic. Setting UDEV_INITRD="yes" and regenerating the initrd fix my situation.
kernel=2.6.8-1.549 MAKEDEV-3.13-1 udev-030-26
I was bitten by this too - the removal of dev broke things a bit. However, I'm not using an initrd as I'm compiling my own kernels from kernel.org.
What is the best way to work around it in this situation? Am I about to be forced to use an initrd?
