Devfs fails to find all partitions with 2.5.67-mm1, plain 2.5.67 is fine

I have 2 scsi disks, and 2.5.67-mm1 find only some of the partitions
when I boot. Below is ls -l listings for /dev/discs/disc0 and
/dev/discs/disc1. Note the missing stuff - linux wasn't at all
happy when the device for /usr couldn't be found at boot time.
Running cfdisk showed that the partitions were there though.
