kernel errors on boot

kernel errors on boot

[Jeremy Abbott]

I am getting strange error messages from the kernel as I boot ever since 
I upgraded from 2.6.10-gentoo-r5 to 2.6.10-gentoo-r6. 

Here is a sample from my log:

Feb 26 15:33:40 [kernel] devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/2

I am running Gentoo, as if that wasn't obvious from my kernel ver.

I did recently emerge udev to eventually replace devfs since it is being 
deprecated, but have not done so yet.  Could this be part of the problem?

Thanks,
Jeremy
