The other thing you could try is turning off hotplug via rc-update. I'd even
go as far as turning of devfs and run MAKEDEV and see if your problems come
under control then.
I had and have serious issuses with devfs with reguards to AMI scsi raid cards
and onboard audio using alsa... If you decide to turn off devfs you must pass
a parameter to the kernel to make it a clean switch, in your lilo append
statement add "gentoo=nodevfs" before you reboot.
