After upgrading from 5.5 to 6.3 I'm noticing this a lot on the main console and in my logs.
Dec 25 09:33:28 kanga init: can't exec getty 'none' for port /dev/ttyp0: No such file or directory Dec 25 09:33:38 kanga init: can't exec getty 'none' for port /dev/ttyp1: No such file or directory etc... msoul...@kanga:/etc$ ls -l /dev/ttyp0 crw--w---- 1 msoulier tty 0, 94 Feb 14 15:29 /dev/ttyp0 it's there... /etc/ttys only mentions them as msoul...@kanga:/etc$ grep ttyp0 /etc/ttys ttyp0 none network on The only getty configured terminals are msoul...@kanga:/etc$ grep getty /etc/ttys # getty The program to start running on the terminal.

I'm not sure why init is trying to talk to these ports, which are obviously pseudo terminals... Advice appreciated. Mike -- Michael P.
