Seems like it was on a gentoo.org page about the nvidia driver. I did this after installing the new kernel, and I re-emerged it again just to make sure, but it didn't help. Still, I don't have /dev/nvidia* created by udev, I have to create them by myself. Greetings, Alex -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yup, that's the problem - why I don't know either and searching didn't turn up any answers other than it's broke. I used the script to create them and it worked.
