Downgrading udev would probably put you in a much bigger soup. Just
recompile your kernel with devtmpfs support.

You might want to use a recovery disk sort of thing or some live usb/cd.

OK so on one of my working systems, I have
sys-fs/udev-171-r9 installed. So I should 
go chroot and downgrade to udev-171-r9?

Any other packages to roll back?
Googling did not produce anything useful.
