Stripping down mkinitcpio, how to remove udev?
I've tried loading almost every fs-related module from lsmod in MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, but as long as I remove udev from HOOKS my image is unbootable, hanging on finding the root FS (which happens to be ext4).
Is this possible? I was thinking it is referring to this (admittedly old) blog-post
The other thing that comes to mind, do I need static udev to do this?

You will also need modules for your HDD (sg, scsi_mod, sd_mod, libata, ...) and perhaps many more.

You need static dev. What you don't need is autodetection.
And, the fs module is not as important as the controller module. Make sure to load that and whatever is dependent. Check modules.dep.
Just remember that you need all the modules for your boot disk, and nothing else.
I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

Uhhuh, that's what I figured. Oh well, maybe some other day on the static udev
