I am actually using udev here on my production desktop, so it *is* usable (and /dev/console is there...). The only thing that really gave me a headache, was that I did not have devpts compiled into my kernel. After adding that most of the system worked as before... And besides: If it doesn't work, one can always uninstall it again. If the system should become non-functional, on needs to disable the udev initscript from a rescue CD, after that the normal /dev/ will be back in place (udev only mounts a ramdisk over the "old-style" /dev) So if you're adventurous give it a try. I have 3 usb-stotage devices, and udev basically solved all my "which device is my camera today?" problems...
