Without an initramfs, you'll need CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y given the devtmpfs bug in the udev init script. > 2.

If you're going to recompile your kernel with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y, you may as well set CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y and not edit the udev init script. > 4.

For 204-4, not having CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y will prevent you from upgrading from 175-7.2.
