Hi,

Busybox doesn't like device entries with major or minor number greater
than 256, though they are supported by recent linux kernels.

Here's an example. Kernel 2.6.7, ls is from coreutils 5.2.1, busybox
1.0-rc1, all compiled against glibc 2.3.3:

$ ls -l /dev/md/d21
brw-------  1 root root 254, 1344 1970-01-01 01:00 /dev/md/d21
                             ^^^^
$ ./busybox ls -l /dev/md/d21
brw-------    1 root     root     254,  64 Jan  1  1970 /dev/md/d21
                                       ^^^
