The same applies to kernels from your test installations. There
is no "udev kernel support". All of that is in a user space.
You have to load that early and it is using various information
from a kernel but this is something else.
OTOH you better configure CONFIG_TMPFS=y or you will have distinct
troubles mounting your /dev.
Also 'mkinitrd' has '--noudev' switch. Not documented but it works
if you really need it. :-) No guarantees, of course, that it will
stay there for the future but you may always edit
/etc/udev/udev.conf and put there USE_UDEV="no".
