[xen-tools-dev] [PATCH 01/17] Added new hooks to install udev. Needed for Debian Lenny with multiple partitions

[Nathan O'Sullivan]

I find without udev almost all the current distributions we support dont 
work for me - primarily because one or more of /dev/zero /dev/null 
/dev/console are not created.

I would suggest for most people the requirement of adding --role=udev to 
get a working domU is an easy thing to be tripped up on.
