Well. Out of curiosity I compiled 2.6.17.9 and didn't bother

I'm typing this right now with this kernel. Modules built alright,

all there, even the USB DVB-T module works...
I seriously can't see anything that doesn't work.
Am I missing something?
I don't believe you're missing anything.
Really, my understanding is that udev is a userspace daemon for
managing what "exists" in /dev, based on what's reported by the
kernel under /sys. I don't know for sure if udev creates symlinks,
or if it creates actual device nodes in /dev, but I think it's device
nodes.
According to this tutorial (link found on LXer.com):
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
udev can create both the device nodes (only one per device) and as
many symlinks as you want (among other things, of course).
Sounds like a meeting topic. :) I've been playing with it lately for
removable stuff.
