If you're in modprobe loading *any* piece of "all the stuff needed to make open("/dev/console") work", the last thing you want to be doing is opening /dev/console to complain about something not working. As Alan said several times now, there really *is* a requirement that early userspace has its act together. --==_Exmh_1228706592_4679P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFJPJMgcC3lWbTT17ARAj8ZAJ0aSsSs4GmyNUjCJjyefIvfpp2CRQCgzDnR OZit34V9O9KpEAj/gpldVoE= =WB9/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1228706592_4679P-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
