Hi: I am wondering if this is a bug: crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty3 crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty4 crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty5 crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty6 Now, I am unable to erase them, nor to overwrite them with /dev/MAKEDEV Kernel is 2.4.7-10 and filesystem is ext3 Could this be a bug??? I am going for kernel recompile (I am getting 2.4.16 from kernel.org right now).. cause I didnt find any other way to restore those minor numbers. I booted from a floppy as well and couldnt remove them neither (got "Operation not permitted" message). Any suggestion? Besides cd / ; rm -rf / :-) Thanks! Raul
