My quick look in Kconfig suggested you could only turn that setting off if you selected 'expert', and it isn't something you would normally want to do. But you hadn't turned it iff, so that is not the problem. I've just remembered something that happened to me earlier this year (May, June) when systemd absorbed udev. There were various options for how to deal with udev, and I was testing some of them. And /dev/pts did *not* get created. So, as an initial workaround, as root 'mkdir /dev/pts' after each boot. You can then mount it. At the moment, I don't recall how this got fixed - either we changed something in the bootscripts, or there was a change in the udev-lfs tarball. I suggest that you try reinstalling the LFS bootscripts (use the current version) - with luck, something changed there an it will fix the problem. If that doesn't help, try downgrading udev to 188 and use the udev-lfs-188-3 tarball which is linked from the stable book. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
