No /dev/tty1 link, no /dev/vc/1 device as well

["eNovaq" <eNovaq@seznam.cz>]

 Hi,
On certain minidistro based on debian stable I have link /dev/tty0
pointing to /dev/vc/0 only but no /dev/tty1 through N and no /dev/vc/1
through M as well. So that respawning getty (inittab) generates tons of
errors.

'mknod /dev/vc/N c 4 N' creates something, but there is still the same
number of errors (error message differs)

There is SCSI card (adaptec 2940) and disk in this PC, strange enough IDE
based PC works well.

Google found few cases of similar problems but gave no answer. Any ideas
how to cure this? (to get back /dev/vc/N)

Thanks a lot

P.S. devfs is running
