SubjectRe: init bug
Date

I'm sorry if this is a bit off the subject, and that it's not
specifically a kernel problem (I hope), but I think the original problem
may have been one I've seen a few times with my Slackware 3.0 / 1.2.13
system.

Something, somewhere, changes /dev/console from its normal state
(major 4, minor 0) state to a link to a pty such as ttyp0:

crw--w--w- 2 root tty 4, 192 Mar 14 07:02 /dev/console

I think in my case it has something to do with xterm -C and
running shutdown before shutting down X "normally." I could be
completely wrong, however. There's a thread in comp.os.linux.x
concerning this problem.

Anyway, I thought that init was hanging, but in the end it was
simply that as soon as init started, I got no more console messages,
nothing. I suspected a problem with init too, but in the end it was the
above. What on earth would be doing this?
