I just updated my kernel from 2.4 to 2.6 and now cron complains about

ERROR: Can't open file //sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/new_id
ERROR: Can't open file //sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci1394/new_id
ERROR: Can't open file //sys/bus/pci/drivers/PIIX IDE/new_id
ERROR: Can't open file //sys/bus/pci/drivers/8139too/new_id
ERROR: Can't open file //sys/bus/pci/drivers/8139cp/new_id
ERROR: Can't open file //sys/bus/pci/drivers/eepro100/new_id
ERROR: Can't open file //sys/bus/pci/drivers/agpgart-intel/new_id


all of those drivers are compiled into the kernel... same as with the 2.4.

anyone know how to get rid of this? I assume 'touch'ing each of those would work but I guess I'm looking for why they appear to be missing

They are not files.
The sysFS is an interface to the kernel like /proc is, only for udev enabled systems.

You probably misconfigured some part of udev and/or devfs.

There's some docs about upgrading from devfs to udev on the site; check those for how to do a proper upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6
