neglected to provide `emerge info` like bug reporting page says to

also, do you use udev ?

edit your bootmisc and see if this updated if statement fixes your problem


        if [ -x /sbin/pam_console_apply ] \
           && [ ! -c /dev/.devfsd ] \
           && [ ! -c /dev/.udev ]
        then
            /sbin/pam_console_apply -r
        fi
