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 . . .
