Last time I checked, you could use mkinitcpio without udev in some simple cases (especially since we started supporting devtmpfs, as the basic devices nodes are created by the kernel and you don't need the stupid device name parsing logic).

What makes you think mkinitcpio depends on udev?
You are right. What I meant was simply that it has depends=(udev). It is of course possible to not include the udev hook (in the vast majority of cases there is no point in including udev). That said, this only holds if you use devtmpfs. /dev on tmpfs used to be possible with the udev hook, but now it is not possible at all. -t
