I think it is.
After setting RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to "no" and removing everything except
/dev/console and /dev/null by using the gentoo live-cd, the number of my
devices decreased to 850 from formerly 5200.
A note for everybody who uses gensplash and splashutils. After i deleted
the device files and rebooted the silent mode refused to work. So i
decided to reemerge splashutils. But this is not necessary. After
installing, the ebuild checks for missing devices, which was in my case
/dev/tty1.
Here is the output from emerge which solved my problem!
It appears that the /dev/tty1 character device doesn't exist on
the root filesystem. This will prevent the silent mode from working
properly. You can fix the problem by doing:
mount --bind / /lib/splash/tmp
mknod /lib/splash/tmp/dev/tty1 c 4 1
umount /lib/splash/tmp
I hope this helps to avoid confusion!
Daniel
