/dev does not have the devices I have configured with initramfs as my root file system

[Allan Wang]

Hello, All,

Happy New Year to everyone! 
I am running ppc440epx board which is similar Sequoia board. I have configured a I2C RTC device. From the console debug message, it is working, but I do not see /dev/rtc0 file. My kernel version is 2.6.30.4. I use initramfs as my root file system. Here is my initramfs.txt:
dir /dev 755 0 0
dir /bin 755 1000 1000
dir /proc 755 0 0
slink /bin/sh busybox 777 0 0
file /bin/busybox /home/awang/proj/linux-2.6.30.4/usr/busybox 755 0 0
dir /sys 755 0 0
dir /usr 755 0 0
dir /usr/bin 755 0 0
dir /usr/sbin 755 0 0
dir /sbin 755 0 0
dir /mnt 755 0 0
dir /etc 755 0 0
dir /var 755 0 0
file /init /home/awang/proj/linux-2.6.30.4/usr/init.sh 755 0 0

Here is my init.sh:

#!/bin/sh

/bin/busybox echo " "
/bin/busybox echo "Hello, I am alive!!!!"
busybox mkdir /mnt/flash
busybox mount -t proc /proc /proc
busybox mount -t sysfs none /sys
busybox mount -t jffs2 mtd2 /mnt/flash

busybox sleep  2
/bin/busybox --install -s
#start a shell
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.201
/bin/sh


Here is my configurations:

RTC kernel configuration:

CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y
CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y

CONFIG_RTC_DEBUG=y

dts configuration:

                                        reg = <0x68>;
                                };
                                eeprom0 at 50 {
                                        compatible = "eeprom";
                                        reg = <0x50>;
                                };
                                eeprom1 at 54 {
                                        compatible = "eeprom";
                                        reg = <0x54>;
                                };
                        };

The debug messages:

i2c /dev entries driver

I have struggled for a few days. Thank you very much.
