Yes, the default behaviour creates a devices.tar.bz2 on shutdown and restores it on bootup. As far as I understand it, thats only a temporary thing, implemented before udev was creating so many nodes by default. There is some discussion here to remove this behaviour, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id8587 There's also a forum thread kicking about, suggesting that people comment out the lines causing the creation/restoration of the devices.tar.bz2 file. Thats how I run and and its working great (as long as i modprobe nvidia before starting X..)
