My thought is that there is no need to recompile - in releases
past, the kernel previously supported more -- one just used
/dev/MAKEDEV to make the additional devices and you were off
to the races
That said, there has been some rejiggering in the way devices
are handled in 2.6 -- I'll spend a bit of time at the bench
and see if things have changed.
