Sorry, I misread your post. Let me follow up on this
My version of Konsole is standard Debian. But I think the issue is
wider. During boot up, bootlogd fails to start complaining
that /dev/ttyzf is giving an error. I don't have a /dev/ttyzf, but I
assume its trying to create it dynamically and failing. Booting from
my home grown version of the kernel I don't have that problem.
