[Buildroot] Problems with udev buildroot

[Heiko Helmle]

aah sorry - the rookie found his mistake:

I'm using a cpio'd filesystem as initramfs - and that disables devtmpfs_mount - according to kernel doc, initramfs has to to mount devtmpfs manually to use it.

So I'm still not quite sure if it'd be better to edit the inittab to mount devtmpfs or just put the basic nodes statically into /dev...
