Doesn't sound like a devfs related problem.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Make sure you've configured
devfsd to create compatibility entries. If there are still missing
entries, then provide me a list of the name the kernel *does* give (if
there is one) and what the missing name is.

The problem may be an omission in devfsd, or it might be a driver that
doesn't create entries in devfs.
