Bug#338404: Not an initramfs-tools bug

2005-11-14 Thread David Härdeman
This was discussed on debian-devel [1]. As long as the debian kernel is shipped with CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS enabled I'd say that the current behaviour is correct. The proper fix would be to: a) change the default kernel config; or b) change the udev rules not to do any special changes to initramf
