Boot logging doesn't work with standard (non-SuSE) linux kernel
Hi all, I've compiled the 2.4.19 kernel from www.kernel.org (i.e. NOT from the SuSE sources). Now, boot logging does not work with the following error: blogd: console=/dev/pts/1, stdin=/dev/pts/1, must differ, boot logging disabled Furthermore, the "showconsole" command gives the following (I think related) error: showconsole: Warning: the ioctl TIOCGDEV is not known by the kernel Before posting I located a similar posting in the German mailing list but my German is not good enough to understand it and babelfish didn't help me much... Maybe someone can help out? Here is the URL: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux/2001-Nov/4435.html -- To err is human, but to forgive is beyond the scope of the Operating System...

The message you link to is from someone with the same problem as you. The actual thread on the german mailing list does not spell out the solution, but mentions that a solution was found by searching on www.deja.com for blogd and suse. It included applying one of SuSE's kernel patches. Regards Ole
Hi Alexandros, I had the same problem and found a patch somewhere in the web (I don't remember where it was...). Here's the patch I have applied to my kernel (2.4.20) - it works for me at last ;-) Regards, Heiko
