[ARMedslack] Trouble with udev on busybox based system

Ok this is a little off topic but since I'm trying to make it look as close as possible to a slackware system I thaught it could fit here anyway.

Although I did my best to adapt all the scripts around /etc/rc.d and /lib/udev to work correctly with busybox (sh and slightly different PATH): udev is not doing it's work correctly.

udevd start apparently correctly but none of the modules that should be loaded automatically actually get loaded.
For instance in order to see the Ethernet nic I;ve to load manually mv643xx_eth, or if I want to use a usb flash stick I've to do quite a bit of manual module loading.
Having a look at armedslack's rc.modules I see that basically it's empty as far as dockstar is concerned so all the modules do get auto loaded correctly.
No as far as kernel is concerned I'm using the exact same setup on the busybox environment that is on the armedslack miniroot system on onboard flash (I stopped using the kernel I compiled) and both boot without initrd so no module loading can be done by initrd.

Anyone have any idea how I could go about debugging this issue ? or even better have any idea howto fix it ?

Regards
David
