Bootstrapping debian wheezy (problems)

I tried to bootstrap debian wheezy armhf onto my kobo touch N905B and it is sort of working.
The init scripts run but that's about it.
I say sort of because the udevd #175 which comes with wheezy doesn't like kobo's 2.6.35 kernel, so I had to deactivate it.
And without udev a lot of stuff (serial port for console, usb network, even mmcblk* is misisng) just doesn't work because /dev is not fully populated.
So now my question is:
How to solve this dilemma the easiest way?
Which kernel version is needed for udev #175 to work?
Or which udev version will run on the 2.6.35 kernel?
How hard is it to patch a newer kernel to use for kobo?
