Package: linux-image-2.6.20-1-686
Version: 2.6.20-2
Severity: important
I have an Intel DG965SS motherboard. For some time I have had to run
a hand compiled version of the linux kernel (2.6.19) because updates
to Sid were held back until Etch was released. This was because it
was necessary for the AGPGART id to be recognised. I used the 2.6.18
debian config for this build.
Now that 2.6.20 has come out, I have attempted to switch back to the
standard debian kernel but if I load up that, two things appear to
happen
bootlogd fails with failure with a problem with /dev/ttyzf, and
I whenever I try and run anything that requires a psuedo tty it
fails (so for instance I cannot ssh into the machine, nor can I run
terminals under X).
/dev/ptmx exists and has the correct permissions.
Rebooting back to 2.6.19 (as I am running now) without any other
changes fixes the problem

cool closing as not a kernel bug and nowadays debian installer
takes care of a proper fstab.
