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!
