Here's the situation. |

Udev-182 mandates that a devtmpfs be mounted on /dev. |
| 9 |
Udev-mount attempts to do this, and if it can't, it fails. |
| 10 |
Since udev-mount fails, udev has to fail. |

I would rather have had >=udev-182 refuse to merge if you don't have |
| 13 |
config_devtmpfs in your kernel, but I was informed that is not allowed |
| 14 |
because of build hosts. |
| 15 |
|

If there is another way to handle this I'm all ears. |
