Yes, devfs is a requirement at the moment.
If you need to go to 2.6 to get devfs working, that'd be fine.

We're working on a tool that'll let you use a kernel you already have - for
that to work, the devfs dependency will need to be removed, since not all
distro kernels have devfs enabld.  This doesn't mean devfs support will be
removed, but that we'll need to handle both (and future; i.e., udev) cases.
