I think that beta tester was me.  I had lvm2 partitions running under
mdev without problems.  (They were also RAID-1, just for completion's
sake.)

The only change I had to make was to my /etc/fstab.  Where I previously
had:

   /dev/vg/usr /usr <options>

under udev, I then needed

   /dev/mapper/vg-usr /usr <options>

instead.  mdev failed to create the /dev/vg directory.  With this change,
my system worked quite happily.  Sadly, I went back to udev when
xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0 started depending on udev, back in June last year.
