Mine is Debian Etch, normally with the latest released or -rcX kernel from kernel.org. Updates current as of about 18 hours ago. Udev package version is 0.105-4. The RELEASE-NOTES file in /usr/share/doc/udev says "udev 105".

Not in my case: everything I need at boot time is built-in.

I can answer the above later when I'm back in front of the machine, but even in the "not good" case, I still see the following messages from the /etc/rcS.d/S03udev file:
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher udevd. Synthesizing the initial hotplug events.
This is where udevtrigger gets called, followed by the load_input_modules and create_dev_makedev functions, then...
Waiting for /dev to be fully populated.
which is where udevsettle gets called.
None of the above appear to be exiting abnormally for the bad case, but I'll definitely take a closer look at what MAKEDEV (/dev/MAKEDEV --> /sbin/MAKEDEV) is doing. In particular, Debian MAKEDEV is looking at /proc/devices to decide what to do, so maybe "cat /proc/devices" would be useful to look at for the broken case.
