If you want to have a system that uses mdev as /dev manager and hal, you 
need to install udevadm to make hal happy. I think the solution is to do 
something like this:

RDEPENDS_udev += "udev-utils" in udev_141.bb

PS: mdev users need to start thinking about how devicekit and 
util-linux-ng will integrate into their systems, since the hal world 
seems to be moving away from hal to libudev + util-linux-ng

Koen
