Several of the Linux distros have switched from static /dev directories to the mountable devfs filesystem. Under that scenario, directory entries associated with modules are not created until the module is loaded into the kernel. There are config files in the /etc/devfs directory that specify the node major/minor values, link names, ownership and permissions for the modular devices. This really threw me when I upgraded my XBox, as every time I rebooted I would get an error saying that I didn't have permission to open /dev/i2c or /dev/lirc. I'd chmod the devices and everything would run fine until the next reboot. Once I realized devfs was deleting the devices on shutdown and recreating them at the next boot I found and changed the appropriate lines in the config file and all is well.
