: warning: dev (04:01) tty->count(x) != #fd's(x) in tty_open : warning: dev (04:01) tty->count(x) != #fd's(x) in release_dev
: where the (x) can be any number. Previously these would scroll : down the screen seemingly forever, now it will stop after about 15 : seconds and give me a login prompt. I'm running 1.3.77.
A buglet in the serial driver, associated with a half-open pseudo tty, if I am not mistaken. Often this means that your console device has become a pseudo tty - check that /dev/console is a symbolic link to /dev/tty0 (current tty) or /dev/tty15 (some arbitrary tty).
