Bug#570382: after upgrade: "vlogin: openpty(): No such file or directory"

[Florian Dufour <Florian.Dufour@inria.fr>]

Hi,

Same problem here (Lenny) since we updated our
linux-image-2.6.26-vserver-86 kernel to 2.6.26-21lenny3 : when the host
server is rebooted, the guest vservers are started but can't be entered
(or accessed by SSH), with the same error message : "vlogin: openpty():
No such file or directory" (or "PTY allocation request failed on channel
0" with SSH).

However, the problem disappeared if the guest is stopped and restarted
using "vserver" command :

  # vserver foo stop
  # vserver foo start
  # vserver foo enter
  foo>

Tomas, in your case and IMHO, adding the devices didn't cure the
problem, but restarting the vserver did (until the host server is
restarted, of course).
