Ok, try checking the following things. Some of this seems basic, but
since gentoo is very "do it yourself" you will want to check it anyway.
1. Which release of gentoo are you using? If it is not a recent one, you
sometimes have to pass a boot argument to get it to use udev in favor of
devfs.
2. emerge -a udev
3. Disable devfs in the kernel. I believe you already said you did this
one.
4. Finally, after making sure all of the others are in place, check
/etc/fstab and ensure there is an entry for your root filesystem there,
and that the "ro" option is not in the fourth collumn.

It's not one damn thing after another, it's the same damn thing over and
over. (History repeats itself)
