I had this problem too, in my case it was caused by an insufficient number 
of /dev/eventXX devices in /dev (might be in a subdir of /dev too). The 
motherboards devices got assiged to most of the /dev/eventXX and the external 
stuff like joysticks wouldn't be detected because of this.

You could see this if you ran advancemame with logging switched on.
