Hi.

I'm running a linux 2.4.30 kernel on a development platform for STB with a
MIPS cpu. When the target starts I just have /dev/tty and /dev/console, but
I need to use virtual consoles to run some applications based on X and SDL.
So I need to create /dev/tty0, tty1 etc. but if I simply make nodes with:

mknod ttyN c 4 N

and I try to

cat file > ttyN

I have "no such device" error.

I also tried to add a command line such as:

console=ttyN

but it doesn't create the specified device in /dev folder.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
