At least it seems to find the touchpad.

As far as problems with device nodes go: udev is the usual suspect. To
check the status of your system, we need to see the output of these
two commands:
dpkg -l udev hotplug linux-image-2.6\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}'
mount | grep udev
The first step to figuring out the font issue is this one:
dpkg -l xfont\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}'
