If you don't want to use DevFS, remove the devfsd package :
$]$ rpm -e --nodeps devfsd
normally everything will be fine.
But you're right.
I'm thinking about nvidia users, often gamers a little newbie under linux (
people mdk aim to have). They install a mdk 8.1, and after install the nvidia
drivers, all is fine. A reboot later : NOTHING because devfs delete the
nvidia device. If nobody say that they have to remove this package ...
On top of that it's a pain !
Why the H... did mdk team make devfsd as a reqsuire for kernel ? it's better
to make it be optionnal
