I tried a custom Linux 3.16.3 (defconfig minus CONFIG_DEVTMPFS plus
virtio drivers), udev 175-7.2, and initramfs-tools versions 0.109.1
(wheezy), 0.116 and 0.117.  All of them produced a *warning* at boot
about missing devtmpfs, but all of them booted.

So I suspect that the boot failure is not related to CONFIG_DEVTMPFS but
is one of the several known bugs in 0.117 that were fixed in 0.118.
Please try that version.

Ben.
