Cannot load module DEVPTS
 
So I have no idea what that module is, or what it does, but I assume I should be loading it and would appreciate some help in doing so!

thanks in advance,

Jim

"Cannot load module DEVPTS"

This means that either devpts is not compiled into your kernel or has no entry in /etc/fstab, or both.

"So I have no idea what that module is, or what it does"

devpts is a new way to keep basic information about devices. I think that the kernel developers plan to replace the /dev logic with devpts logic.

"I assume I should be loading it "

So far very few device drivers have been written or rewritten to use devpts instead of /dev. If nothing fails because devpts is missing then you are not using it and the error messages are merely a nuisance.
