Looks like the .config I sent is not the one that caused the problems.  It
is a modified version of the one that caused problems, and I had ommitted to
"make clean" in between, which made me think this one broke as well.

Just deselect support for devfs and the symptoms I described are back.

I supposed that what really depends on devfs are the root_fs provided, not
the kernel itself.  But then Debian 2.2 is based on a 2.2 kernel without
devfs, so if the provided Debian root_fs is not a hacked one I'm a bit
lost...
