Last time I checked, you could use mkinitcpio without udev in some simple cases (especially since we started supporting devtmpfs, as the basic devices nodes are created by the kernel and you don't need the stupid device name parsing logic). I actually have virtual machines that have MODULES="virtio_pci virtio_blk ext4" HOOKS="base" and they do boot fine. And I am pretty sure we have users with setups like MODULES="ahci sd_mod ext4" HOOKS="base" With newer mkinitcpio versions, even root=LABEL=foobar should work without udev. In theory, as we have devtmpfs, a dm-crypt setup might also still work without udev (with some quirks). What makes you think mkinitcpio depends on udev?
