I've been messing around all day long, but I wasn't able to figure out: my kernel is compiled with the right things enabled, udev is ok, everything is ok. Maybe I'm missing something, but my idea is that it has got to do with the absence of hal.

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. HTH, Mark
