Not sure about the root causes or potential solutions but both #1 & #3
do work here.

I do have CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y in my kernel. Not sure what it's doing
anymore but it's there.

I do have most of ACPI either on or modular.

udev is started as part of sysinit.

Not at all sure whatever might be involved.
