Hi,

I currently get many errors about pty devices:
Code:
login as: root
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
Server refused to allocate pty

Code:
layer ~ # screen
Cannot access '/dev/pts/2': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

Code:
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-text/wgetpaste-2.12
openpty failed: 'out of pty devices'


My /dev/pts dir is empty:
Code:
layer ~ # ls -lisa /dev/pts/
insgesamt 0
140766 0 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root   40 28. Nov 10:03 .
140756 0 drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 3820 28. Nov 10:03 ..

Code:
layer ~ # mount

kernel .config: http://dpaste.com/94313/

I guess I'm missing a kernel option...

Does it work with a standard gentoo-kernel where you don't remove but only add options.

Probably not. I had 'CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS' is not set for ages (or, more exactly, years)
and never had a problem with it.

What's more, ls -lisa /dev/pts/ does list 7 ptys for me.

It almost sounds like devpts isn't being mounted, even though mount says it is. Check /proc/mounts and make sure, as I believe "mount" gets its info from /etc/mtab which could be stale.

Actually... yes.

I ditched the config and just created a new one and the problem seemed to be solved. Right now I'm starting from scratch since I kind of... killed my hard disk *coughs*
