udev in the initrd

hi,

just a short question besides - shouldn't we start udev in the initrd? i
have a scsi card not supported by stock kernels, so i created an initrd
using mkinitrd. although the disk is correctly detected, the root=
options don't work. so i guess it's now the initrd's job to initialize
device nodes, too - like we do in the bootdisk.

has anyone thought of this yet? or am i just stupid as hell?

thanks,

fake
