Hi! These are the messages displayed regarding the ttys. Note that tty0 is not listed. But while loading the default keymap it says /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 162: /dev/tty0: No such file or directory. /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 39: /dev/tty1: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 39: /dev/tty2: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 39: /dev/tty3: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 39: /dev/tty4: No such file or directory /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 39: /dev/tty5: No such file or directory I have 2 partitions as ext2, the root and my home. The other partition where CVS directory and my backups are present is an ext3 partition. I built the kernel with ext3 partition. But I am not sure is I included it in kernel or made a LKM. One more thing, for drivers should I build the kernel with versioning support or not? Thanks in advance.
