Hi,

I'm doing the same for a distro I contribute to (GoboLinux).  Udev doesn't
automatically call /etc/dev.d or /etc/hotplug.d.  You need to add some
rules similar to this:

calica at office ~]cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hotplugd.rules
# do not call hotplug.d and dev.d for "drivers" and "module" events
SUBSYSTEM=="drivers",  OPTIONS="last_rule"
SUBSYSTEM=="module",   OPTIONS="last_rule"

# compatibility support for the obsolete hotplug.d and dev.d directories
ENV{UDEVD_EVENT}=="1",  RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_hotplugd"
RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_devd"

calica at office ~]


Also, keep in mind udev is now using a netlink socket rather
than /sbin/hotplug to listen to events.  That means you should remove udev
from /etc/hotplug.d/default
