Your mother (inside joke),
Gentoo is not for the faint of heart. Someone with skillz such as
yourself should not give up so easily :) But I have to admit it was
quite annoying when I did an emerge and updated everything and I got all
these weird modprobe errors. I can't believe they screwed up the
base-layout. Oh well.
As you pointed out, others have had this same problem. If you look
closely, you'll see I was one of them :) This was two and a half months
ago.

I was able to fix it by disabling module autoloading, as was
suggested by one of the posts on the forum. To disable you
edit the /etc/devfsd.conf and comment out the line:
LOOKUP .* MODLOAD
Gentoo is fun. But it is not for a stable system. It is more for
if you like to play around with linux, learn new things, try out the
latest stuff, and you don't care if it dies or does something crazy on
you. The gentoo community is awesome. It is one of the most active linux
communities you will find.
I have learned a lot by having gentoo on my system.
