Your .config was not attached.
There is a devfs mounting problem in 2.5.54. If you're using devfs you may find that http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.54/2.5.54-mm3/broken-out/devfs-mount-fix.patch will help

The device node exists in /dev. It sounds like no kernel driver has registered itself against tht node's major/minor. Make really sure that you have compiled the appropriate driver for your hardware; things may have changed. All else fails, send lspci and dmesg output to this list and/or davej@codemonkey.org.uk - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
