The Coldplug task is now appended to the Udev task. There is no need
to call it manually.

That's strange.. could you please check the value of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug?

I've found a problem in the recipe, where the basic /dev contents were
not being populated again after tmpfs-mounting it. I've just fixed
that and added your firmware rule to the recipe again. By the way,
doesn't your change works if you do that in the same file (51- instead
of moving it to 50-)?

I'm attaching a new recipe for Udev, which has just been tested here
on my PC. Could you please try to move your /Programs/Udev and
/Programs/Hotplug somewhere else before trying it?
