If you want modules loaded for devices that have been plugged in before you boot, use the coldplug package:

udev update is blocked by coldplug on older systems and udev will block coldplug on newer systems. the two cannot co exist. the documentation should explain this and how to safly remove coldplug and update udev instead of users relying on long posts that are confusing in forums.

# emerge coldplug

Don't forget to add coldplug to the boot runlevel:
