Since I had to reboot a few times yesterday I'm now running kernel 2.4.10 
with devfs on my Debian Potato system with kernel-2.4-packages.

I have this problem:

> root < @thinkpad:/root$ ll -d /dev/thinkpad/
drw-rw-rw-    1 root     adm             0 Oct 10 19:58 /dev/thinkpad/

As you can see, no x permissions, so tpctl will only work as root since an 
ordinary user is not allowed to look into /dev/thinkpad. The files inside 
/dev/thinkpad have the right permissions:

> root < @thinkpad:/root$ ll /dev/thinkpad/
total 0
drw-rw-rw-    1 root     adm             0 Oct 10 19:58 .
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 ..
crw-rw-r--    1 root     thinkpad   8,   2 Jan  1  1970 rtcmosram
crw-rw-r--    1 root     thinkpad   8,   1 Jan  1  1970 smapi
crw-rw-r--    1 root     thinkpad  10, 170 Jan  1  1970 thinkpad

What did I wrong? Or should I tweak the 'mode' argument of devfs_mkdir? I'm 
not sure about that, so I kept my hands off.
