I checked enbd 2.4.23 against kernel 2.4.0 yesterday (sorry - I don't
have 2.4.2). The devfs entries came up exactly as expected. I even
added a symlink disk -> 0, and a whole family chanX -> X, just for
fun.

Compile the module with -DDEBUG=3. After inserting the module see
if the DEBUG printks just before and after the devfs stuff in
init_module has shown up in the dmesg output. 

It's possible you got a corrupted copy (or I put up one :), so try
downloading it again.
