Well, you're right - according to the faq, it should be listed under /proc/filesystems if you have support for it compiled in.
When you do `ps ax | grep devfsd` does it show that the daemon is running?
If you (as root) go to /usr/src/linux and do a `make menuconfig`, is "/dev filesystem support" selected under Filesystems -->Pseudo Filesystems?
When I have had this problem in the past, it has been because I have had devfs running. When I stopped using it (menuconfig will tell you that it is obsolete and has been replaced by udev), the problem stopped. I seem to recall, however, someone a while back who had a similar problem, but it was due to a security settings issue. I am sorry, but I don't recall his exact problem or how he fixed it.
