I used mknod in local.start. That seems to have fixed the problem. |

Side note: a 2.1.11 kernel that I had lying around created the devices |

correctly. I only had to do this for 2.1.13. |

You need these lines in /etc/modules.d/nvidia |
26 |
|
27 |
# Nvidia drivers support |
28 |
alias char-major-195 nvidia |
29 |
alias /dev/nvidiactl char-major-195 |
30 |
|
31 |
Then run modules-update |
32 |
