Hi!

mingetty has a workaround for readonly /dev filesystems, maybe that's
the problem you have.  Could you try the attached patch?, I would apply
a similar workaround if it works for you:

No. It isn't working.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but now there aren't messages saying
that couldn't chow/chmod tty (using both the unpatched and the patched
version of fgetty).
I am using the same Kernel as before (but maybe some package was updated)
Everything runs fine and when fgetty is going to be started, it just
doesn't appear.

What is happening on tty1 is:

(...)
Checking battery state...
Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local).

And then nothing else (fgetty was supposed to start after rc.local, right?)

On other ttys they just stay black.

So I put some "write" to see where fgetty was stopping.
Running "fgetty" inside a terminal emulator:

***1***Segmentation fault

(1 is on line 266 of the patched fgetty.c)

And "fgetty tty3", as normal user and inside the terminal emulator:

***1******2******3******4***could not chown/chmod tty device

So it looks that fgetty is working.
But rebooting the computer, nothing is displayed, as before. It looks
that fgetty isn't being called? (or it's dying before my write).

With Debian's Kernel if prints my numbers and works OK. mingetty is
always working (with any Kernel).

fgetty was compiled on an updated unstable chroot (using pbuilder) and
my system is an updated unstable too.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
