You should rm -rf /dev/.udev/, but it is better to leave the rest of
/dev alone. That way you may be able to access the system even if udev
breaks completely.
Actually I only know about the problem of /dev/console being necessary
from my own experience. I once moved my root filesystem to another
partition using "cp -ax", not considering that this would leave out
everything under /dev. The cloned root system worked fine until I
booted a kernel without an initramfs.
