I have something similar, except in my case it's /dev/psaux that keeps going
walkies. I added this as "/etc/rcS.d/S41remake_mouse_device":
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -e /dev/psaux ]; then
mknod -m600 /dev/psaux c 10 1
else
echo "Mouse port already exists."
fi
and it sort of works, although I need to try /etc/init.d/kdm start a few times
before X deigns to start up. Fortunately, this being GNU/Linux I don't have
to reboot very often, and I can live with it. If it was some sort of legacy
system that needed rebooting for other reasons beside power failures and
kernel recompiles, I would be climbing the walls by now .....
I'm sure it's related to udev -- the startup messages say something about
mounting a tmpfs over /dev. Does anyone know what I need to do to get it to
work properly?
