20 Yup, got all that.
21 And a gentoo=nodevfs
22 in the grub entry
23 too. And that's when
24 the pty problem
25 manifests itself. So
26 I have either the
27 pty problem or the
28 dev labeling
29 problem. I'd rather
30 have neither.
31
32 Apparently a lot of
33 gentoo users get
34 bitten by the pty
35 problem after
36 upgrading to 2.6
37 since gentoo still
38 wants devfs. Simply
39 enabling that solves
40 their problem. But I
41 don't want devfs
42 because of selinux.
43 So how do I get
44 around that then?
45 Any suggestions
46 would be welcome.
47
48 regards,
49 nixnut
