[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#376406: bootlogd fails with message "bootlogd: cannot find console device 136:4 in /dev

[Martin Braure de Calignon]

Hi,

I've the same error. It's quite annoying.
I haven't tried yet, but I see on some sites a possibly workaround :
(source: http://nixforums.org/about11980.html)
enable CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY in kernel configuration.
If I have time to recompile my kernel, I'll tell you more about this.

For the moment, I have a very dirty workaround that statically create
the device file with mknod /dev/myconsole 136 4 c in an init script that
is run before bootlogd (I'm not sure it works, I haven't reboot my
computer yet).

Whatever, if it doesn't work, which package could replace bootlogd ? any
tips ?

Cheers,
