Unhappy {NORMAL} ERROR /dev is broken!!!


I am using genkernel on the Gentoo distro.

Ever sense I upgraded to kernel 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 I get a message like this "{NORMAL} ERROR /dev is broken!!!" before boot runlevels start.

In the passed I have removed a few old kernels.
But, I don't think that is why I am getting this message.
I posted a message on Gentoo Forum, but got no answers.

Does anyone know why I get this error and how to fix it?

Here is my emerge --info:

Lightbulb Found the problem

Found out it is genkernel that is causing error.

I added this to Gentoo Bug @ http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215387 if you have this problem too.
