Maybe kobo kernel lacks support of devtmpfs (needed for udev). In my experience is easier to add support to devtmpfs to kobo kernel than to get a mainline kernel to work with kobo hardware.

First, I would check if the kernel support devtmpfs or this option can be enabled via menuconfig. If devtmpfs is not supported you have two options:

- use mdev + tmpfs to populate /dev
- backport devtmpfs to kobo kernel

If you want to backport devtmpfs here is an example that WarheadsSE did for OXNAS kernel in order to be able to run udev ->> https://github.com/WarheadsSE/OX820-2.6-linux
