this is probably due to your initscripts use /dev mounted over tmpfs.
You can check this in `mount` output.
I would recommend you to disable mounting it on tmpfs since it's a real
wastage of memory (~0.5-1MB of RAM per VPS). And this will solve your
problem also - device entries in /dev won't disappear after reboot.

Kirill Kolyshkin will be able to recommend you more concrete actions
tomorrow if you don't succeed.
