Char device not visible in /dev

Dear *,
I have a char driver registered successfully. I can see logs with dmesg commands, I can see the device in /proc/devices. Registering by calling register_chrdev is OK, I know major of the device. No error occurs during initialization. But I don't see the device in /dev directory despite. What can be wrong? How can I open this device? Is there any other location where a device can be located?
Driver is compiled into the kernel (not as a module), kernel is 2.4.31.
Thanks for any hint.

Best regards.
JN.

So I've found the problem. Stupid, solution is easy: mknod was not called correctly.
