did you update your fstab ? you need to make sure you have something like :

none	/dev/pts        devpts  gid=5,mode=620	0       0
none    /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults	0       0
none	/sys            sysfs   defaults	0       0

none    /proc           proc    defaults	0       0

looks like it when devpts is not mounted.

btw, you also want to install module-init-tools and check mouse and keyboard 
in your input section, it's not enabled by default (and a pain when it's a 
module...).

this is what i use :

$ grep -Eri "^[^#].*(FB|VT|VGA|MOUSE|KEY)" /boot/config-2.6.0-test1
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_3DFX=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y

$ grep -Eri "^[^#].*(VT|VGA|MOUSE|KEY)" /boot/config-2.4.21-xfs
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
