Hi,
After installing kernel 2.6.10, i've tried to run a xterm, but it gaves this error:
xterm: Error 14, errno 21: Is a directory
Reason: spawn: open() failed on /dev/tty

Anyone knows what's this about?

Have you Legacy (BSD) PTY support enabled in config ?

[edit]
just checked, it is in Device Drivers > Character devices

Yes, I have this:

CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256

Any more ideias?

could you try to upgrade udev package from current, that may solve some problems with
kernel 2.6.10

I had this prob as well, all i did was disable udev and it worked fine (nothing broke either) but since i'v went back to 2.4 for personal reasons.
