Just wondering if anyone else besides the one user who's reported a succesful result has tried this. I realise people are experimenting with mdev and static devices; the latter in particular would be of interest on that forum thread, but I'd also like to know if anyone has got any feedback on udev without initramfs, especially on unstable. I'm not knocking the mdev option, and would love to see a forum thread on how to set that up: the more options the better AFAIC. Just that udev is the official upstream kernel thing, AFAIK, and might be more suited for the general desktop end-user, especially with devices that only have udev helper scripts (eg I've heard about wifi and bluetooth.)
