 also dont forget you will need the "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to
mount at /dev  " support in your kernel ( CONFIG DEVTMPFS ) for the
new udev to work
 not sure Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the
rootfs (NEW) is also mandatory, but I also add it (
CONFIG DEVTMPFS MOUNT )

 and gentoo is not really at fault here, udev is . . .
