Also,
my modules.devfsd contains lines with "probeall" and I have no idea what
probeall is, and modprobe gives an error at boot time like this:
Feb 3 02:34:38 localhost modprobe: FATAL: Module /dev/midi* not found.

why does this happen only with the 2.5.59 kernel?
Also, I cannot get pppd to run properly in 2.5.59, I have evrything compiled
in the kernel (ppp_generic, ppp_async and compression stuff)
but ppp does with the following error :
"couldn't get tty to ppp discipline"
This happens only with the 2.5.59 kernel, not 2.4.20 (these are the only two
I have)
what am I doing wrong?
thnks for reading/replying...

This is a known problem. Try the patch below which has been floating
about for a while.
thanks,
