Alexei, make sure you have : 1) CONFIG_SHMEM=y and CONFIG_TMPFS=y in your kernel's .config file If not, run "make menuconfig" and enable it in File Systems -> Pseudo filesystems -> Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs) 2) you should also have "none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0" in your fstab Both of which are standard defaults on Gentoo.
