I use udev and Legacy(BSD) with 2.6.12-r6. How to check if I use virtual terminal? How to switch to Unix98 - I can't find this option in menuconfig. Very strange is that root can open eterm without problems, any user (even with additional group 'root') can't. I see some messages in logs about pam authentication. Could it be related to that?
