I used the steps on the Gentoo docs. They also link to some udev site. |

Essentially |
4 |
1. Set up kernel not to autostart devfs (when everything is okay you can remove devfs from the kernel) |
5 |
2. emerge udev |
6 |
3. I modified /etc/conf.d/rc (I think it was) to have a devfs and a udev version. The udev version did not use the tarball and had another variable set. |
7 |
4. Save the devfs rc and then copy the udev rc to rc |
8 |
5. Reboot. |

For me it worked. |
