I was suffering from this same problem and it does appear to be a bug in udev-077-r1 (-r2 is now in ~x86 but I've not tried it yet). The solution that someone else came up with (calr0x on the forums) was to run udevstart once the system is running, this causes all of the device nodes for the installed kernel modules to be created.
