There is a more perment solution for gentoo users:
emerge gentools
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" ebuild $(equery w udev) clean unpack
goto where the sources are unpacked
make && make install
make EXTRAS=extras/run_directory
cp extras/run_directory/udev_run_hotplugd /sbin
echo "ENV{UDEVD_EVENT}==\"1\", RUN+=\"/sbin/udev_run_hotplugd\"" >>
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
This will make sure that the /proc entry comes up right the first time.
I found this suggestion over at
