I don't know what is causing the problem on your system, but I know what happened to a certain testing system I have. The inittab on that system ran the gettys on "tty1", etc. However, when I stopped running devfsd (it was too resource hungry, forking too many modprobe processes) the /dev files for the ttys weren't where the gettys were told they were. I solved it by changing "tty1" to "vc/1" in /etc/inittab. This may or may not apply to your unstable system. HTH, -D -- NOTICE: You have just been infected with Cooperative UNIX Email Virus.
