Don't use /proc/devices as a source to know what your hardware is. /proc/devices is *NOT* the list of devices present in your system. It's the list of major numbers registered by the currently loaded character and block drivers. Better source of informations are dmesg, lspci and lsusb. Basically, you need to know your hardware, and possibly compile and boot the kernel several times until you select the correct set of options. There's no magical recipe I can give you.
