Change to:
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3



I believe (according to the Gentoo udev Guide) that "Gentoo Latest"
ought to boot with udev.  It doesn't.  Instead it boots with devfs.
Note, both udevd and devfsd are running:


Looking through /sbin/rc, gentoo will disable udev if any of the following are true:

1. RC_DEVICES is set to "devfs".
2. The kernel command line contains "noudev".
3. The kernel version is less than 2.6.0.
4. /sbin/udev does not exist or is not an executable file
5. The file /dev/.devfsd exists.

Since the first 3 definitely do not apply, and you seem to have emerged udev, my guess is you probably need to remove /dev/.devfsd to enable udev.
