[Bug 936667] Re: init(4): no available ptys stops boot

[James Hunt]

Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Can you confirm the following:

- The /dev/ptmx device exists and has permissions 0666.
- Your kernel version (cat /proc/version). Are you running a custom kernel without pty support?

Title:
  init(4): no available ptys stops boot

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When booting 12.04 after a recent update, I see "init(4): no available
  ptys" being displayed faster than a machine gun. When I add --no-log
  as a kernel option and I'm able to boot just fine.
