upgrade to 2.6.5 problem

[Keir Lawson <keir@thelawsons.plus.com>]

I recently upgraded from kernel 2.4.25 to kernel 2.6.5 (im using
unstable) - the upgrade went OK but now i have two problems:

1. the nvidia graphics module isnt loaded on startup (i have to do
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.5-1-k7/nvidia/nvidia.ko before i can enter the
xserver)

2. permission are mucked up, for both oss (/dev/dsp,/dev/mixer) alsa
(/dev/snd/*), and nvidia stuff (/dev/nv*), when i change anything
in /dev (creating a folder, changing permissions) the changes revert on
reboot
