Ah, this was the part where i did not know how to realize this check,
thanks for the hint. :)

Well, i created a patch for this bug now, but i am not completely sure
about the check of the $kern_rev3, because it will also output just 8
on kernels like 2.6.8-pre2 (where char-major 250 was used).

The second thing where i am not sure is if it is needed to check for
devfs before calling makedev, and if the ckeck in my patch is right.

See the attached file.
