    Looking through the source, it seems like this is getting tripped:

            if (devfs_register_chrdev (PP_MAJOR, CHRDEV, &pp_fops)) {
                    printk (KERN_WARNING CHRDEV ": unable to get major %d\n",
                            PP_MAJOR);
                    return -EIO;
            }

    Is that what it says in 'dmesg'?

    I don't know why that would happen. Did you have devfs enabled, or
    not (it should work either way)?
