Yes, devfs is considered to be deprecated in the 2.6 kernel and it has been
replaced with sysfs and udev. You should be able to find more information
in Google. Also, bear in mind that there were some major changes in the
way the kernel deals with modules too, so it wouldn't surprise me if the
nVidia drivers are broken. Aren't those binary drivers, by the way?
