I don't have a password to edit the ticket so I'll reply here.
I'm using the kernel's devtmpfs and udev-157. Udev does not create the
folders /dev/{pts,shm} so the mountfs script fails because the
mountpoints mentioned in /etc/fstab do not exist. Putting mkdir
/dev/{pts,shm} in the udev bootscript fixes it
sed -i '/lib/a\\t\tmkdir /dev/{pts,shm}' /etc/rc.d/init.d/udev
