The pty one is simple enough. The old old kernels used a set of 64 minor
numbers in a single tty major for ptys and it wasnt enough, so about 1.2
that was changed to a new set. 2.1.12x dropped support for the ancient
ones. Remake your /dev/pty* /dev/tty[pqrs]*

/dev/psaux: no such device either means you didnt compile PS/2 mouse in, or
it failed to find a PS/2 mouse. Please check this one because Linus did
a major clean up of the ps/2 code in 125/6
