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?
I set USE_UDEV="no" in "/etc/udev/udev.conf" and then used "/sbin/MAKEDEV" to recreate all the device nodes in "/dev". MAKEDEV needs an extra argument, which is the name of a file inside "/etc/makedev.d". For example:
/sbin/MAKEDEV console /sbin/MAKEDEV sound /sbin/MAKEDEV ide /sbin/MAKEDEV generic /sbin/MAKEDEV usb
