By any chance do you have a MINIX partition?

Maybe if you gave some further information about your hardware, someone
on the list could advise on this.

As I've said, I don't understand the allocation of ptys. However, I
believe that something about them changed between kernels 2.0.36 and
2.2.14. There is a document at
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.html that may be
relevant. However, my not very well informed guess is that asking
advice here on how to get your hard disk working under 2.0.36 is more
likely to pay off than trying to convert mulinux to a later kernel.
Michele?
