Big problem:

When I boot into gnome, I get a "/dev/sound not found" error.

So I go check, and indeed, this is missing. Therefore I decided to use the gentoo docs to install sound drivers.

However, these docs expect you to have /dev/sound, /dev/mixer, etc, wich are simply missing in my case. Somehow this also causes it to be impossible to install alsa drivers.

How can I get this fixed?

Any errors, logs or segfaults about that?
