When I try
mount devpts /dev/pts -t devpts
I get an error :
fs type devpts not supported by kernel (or something similar)
But the devpts is kompiled into the kernel ...

With or without devfs? I can't help with devfs, because I've never
used it. But for "normal" /dev, you should have a /dev/pts directory,
which becomes the mount point for a "devpts" pseudo-filesystem. I've also
heard that the /dev/ptmx character device could be a problem.
Here's what I have (on a Linux kernel 2.2.19 system):
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 15 18:04 /dev/pts
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 May 17 14:08 /dev/ptmx
And "mount" says:
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
There is no entry for that in /etc/fstab, by the way.
