Hi Lucio.
Well, you need to see more output?
The tree programs needed at boot time are this:
/sbin/udevd --daemon
/sbin/udevtrigger
/sbin/udevsettle
If you run the first in debian could be fail because debian
checks a lot of things (/etc/init.d/udev)
but if you run the raw command /sbin/udevd --daemon
at the rc script this will give you the output that you need.
I think that there is a funcion in the rc script that hides
all the output to the console.
Best,
Orestes.
