The way I avoid these issues it is to compile all usb/bluetooth/filesystems/etc drivers (except controllers and other non-removable stuff) as modules. It's not very gentooish and I've noticed that it does slow udev startup a bit but I want everything I plug in to just work without having to rebuild my kernel and figuring out the right modules. -- Fernando Rodriguez
