Well maybe that's his problem and maybe it isn't, but he's not the only person thinking that there's something strange about devfs in 2.4.20. I have a 2.4.20-SMP box that is deadlocking when loading modules via devfs. The NMI watchdog has produced two oopsen for me, which I have published to this list, and while one oops is also from the ALSA modules, the other is from mga.o. Both oopsen occur in the __write_lock_failed() function and have devfs_open() in the module stack. I have most definitely NOT forgotten to recompile everything for 2.4.20, and I am using symbol versioning anyway.
