It prints nothing at all!
With old kernel the to be expected list.
What does "ls -la /dev/hda*" say?
All hda entries point to ide/host0 ... and so on.
Only hda7 is a device node.

No change.

You do have sysfs mounted at /sys, right? Why not use your distro's
udev package instead of trying to install it yourself into the boot
process?

I am using my distros udev package!
That is, I emerged udev on my gentoo.
I followed the available documentation, checked the gentoo forum and
asked on irc ... everybody out of ideas.
Far as I know there should be a line about udev populating /dev
on bootup. couldn't see/find that. But there's a udevd running.
And how could there be a working device mount, allowing me
to mount a partition without udev (since that kernel comes
without devfs)?

That needs to be there. If that doesn't happen, something is wrong.
Make sure you aren't booting with a command line that disables udev, or
enables devfs. Also make sure you don't have devfs in your kernel at
all.
> But there's a udevd running.
The kernel started that up, not the init scripts.

The kernel does this on it's own in the boot process.
