[ARMedslack] R: R: Armedslack on the AC100

[Davide]

Ok maybe I've worked out the cause:
looks like devpts needs to be mounted.
mkdir /dev/pts
mount -n -o mode=0620,gid=5 -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
Mounting it manually gets xterm going.

Actyally I grepped the mount out of rc.udev so I'll try to figure out why it's not workin.

The other odd thing is that before mounting manually I can grep devpts out of /proc/mounts. I wonder if it's normal ot if it's a resedue from initrd ?
Well whatever ... it looks like the check_mounted function at the top of rc.udev is using /proc/mouns to detect if something is mounted ... but the content in it seems wrong.

To temporarely work around the problem I commented the check and blind make and mount /dev/pts in rc.udev.

Regards
David
