I think I found the root of the problem, in /etc/init.d/mdev
mount_it()
{
if fstabinfo --quiet /dev ; then
mount -n /dev
else
# Some devices require exec, Bug #92921
mount -n -t tmpfs -o "exec,nosuid,mode=0755,size=10M" mdev /dev
fi
}
I replaced "size=10M" with "size=50%" and rebooted. It now works
properly. Bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469226 filed.
