    Hi all,

    I recently switched from devfs to udev. Everything is fine except that I
    now have no virtual consoles, only X.

    The device /dev/tty exists as do /dev/vc/tty/*, but there are no
    symbolic links like /dev/tty0 -> vc/0.

    Does anyone know what's going on here?

    I run a home made 2.6.8 kernel, I guess I must have left out a
    config option that I need. Problem is I don't know which one.
    I google and looked at my config, but can't work it out.

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Thanks,

    Nick.
