Yes, but you see, my point is that-- as far as I know-- udev doesn't
create the agpgart device; the loading of the kernel module does that.
In the same way that the kernel modules are responsible for creating all
the motherboard resources that load at boot before udev comes into the
picture.

So that's why I'm feeling that the problem is with your kernel, not udev
per se. Although maybe coldplug wouldn't hurt to have in rc-update.

What is the error? Module doesn't exist? Module is already loaded?
Symbol errors?

Yes, it's a speeded-up, dedicated form of the PCI bus.

The kernel configuration for it is

Device Drivers==> Character devices.
