After further investigating... I found the issue. I was in fact turning off haldaemon. Some obscure install script I forgot about. This must have been ok in centos 5 and X as I just checked my machines and in fact it is off. Not sure why I turned it off way back...
Read wikipedia page on HAL daemon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_%28software%29
Maybe this helps you remember. You might have turned it of if you haven't needed it for anything, but used udev directly instead.
