Well I only compiled the one that works - and yes it has
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y.
2.6.20 is the standard debian package (2.6.20-1-686), and its the one
that doesn't work. How do I find out what its compiled with?
I also notice that when I load up 2.6.20 kernel bootlogd fails to start
with a message related to having problems with /dev/ttyzf. Looks like
a similar issue to me.
