Fedora Core 5: Konsole/XTerm claim there are no PTY's

I just installed Fedora Core 5. When I first started it up, it worked perfectly; however, after I rebooted, I started to get errors from the terminals...

Konsole's exact error is:

Quote:

Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices.

XTerm claims there are no PTY devices.

I went into /dev and noticed there are no pty entries anywhere (after reading that this may be a permission problem). What program could be preventing udev from generating the entries?

Read the FC5 release notes re udev. You may need to change things in /etc/udev.d.

Yep, I read the notes.

At any rate, I stumbled across the solution by accident earlier; it seems that while Fedora Core requires an entry in fstab for the PTY mounting, Debian does not...
