[arch-general] /dev/tty* borked ...

8 Oct 2009


      Hi folks,

My system is uptodate with the current testing repo. During bootup today
I noticed the error message:
    /etc/rc.sysinit: line 364: /dev/tty[0-9]*: no such file or directory
To my surprise, only /dev/tty was present, but none of tty0..9. Instead
there was a device literally named '/dev/tty[0-9]*' !! I deleted the
latter, and attempted to create the missing ones with mknod. But I think
I took the wrong major number, and now my system has started to behave a
bit crazy... Any idea what I should do to restore it to sanity?

Thanks,
F
