I've never had this problem, so I can't think what could be the cause.
What I would suggest is that you compile your kernel with 

CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y

Then the kernel will mount a tmpfs on /dev and populate it with all the
devices it can before udev is run. It will at least give you all your
disk partitions. I can boot to the command prompt and mount all my
partitions without running udev at all. Xorg won't start without udev
but the system is quite usable other than that.

I didn't catch which versions of the bootscripts you are using. There
have been some changes to the way udevadm behaves. What command does
your udev bootscript use to launch udev? Do your bootscripts need a
tmpfs mounted on /run?
