Walter, I've been reading on mdev, and I think there are some things we ought to try : 1. *IMPORTANT* make sure there's /etc/mdev.conf ! 2. Adding 'mdev -s' into /sbin/linuxrc after mounting sys/proc. man busybox says that 'mdev -s' populates /dev with devices it detects during boot. Maybe we won't need kernel devtmpfs anymore? 3. To handle hotplug events, ' echo /bin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug '. But I'm not sure which kernel config to enable to make that sysctl knob appear.
