2.4.2ac8 lost char devices

["J . A . Magallon" <jamagallon@able.es>]

Hi,

Well, somethig has broken in ac8, because I lost my PS/2 mouse and
(less important, but perhaps it is useful) the microcode driver. So
I think it something common to both.

The onle diff in dmesg from ac7 to ac8 is just the errors:

What is microcode doing with devfs ? I have not configured devfs...
