/dev broken on upgrade to 2.6.9

Hi all! Have got a nasty error on upgrading my kernel, using make-kpkg, to 2.6.9. I didn't change very much, just wanted to take advantage of the updated ACPI code. Specifically, the problem is that /dev is completely broken. It shows up but I can't cd into it (Not a Directory). I seem to be using
