I've been running gentoo since the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth. In the early days, the instructions were NOT TO SELECT CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT, and devfs didn't work well for gentoo if that option was checked. I've been running gentoo 1.4_rc? since it came out - current on the stable tree as of last week - and I've never ever checked CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT in my kernel. Devfs works just fine.
