We use udev after a switch_root to the main Puppy filesystem. The initramfs 'init' script is supposed to find all drives and we have been able to do it reliably without udev, including reliably finding all USB drives by our method. Sometime back I did look into using udev in the initramfs, but it didn't seem to provide all the information that I need. Anyway, I will follow your recommendation and take another look at it. Thanks for the feedback.
