I upgraded my Mandrake 6.0 kernel to 2.2.9-27 ( and all the other
updates as of
16/6/99 ) and had to re-compile the kernel so that my ATAPI CD burner
would use
SCSI emulation. Well the burner is fine, but I now get two error
messages
during the boot sequence:
1) The first relates to the sound card (AWE64)
Loading sound module [ OK ]
Loading midi module
No AWE synth device is found
sound: Device or resource busy
post-install /lib/modules/2.2.9-27mdk/misc/awe_wave.o failed
[FAILED]
lsmod reports:

What is missing and how do I get it back?
2) The second error relates to file systems. . .
Mounting local filesystems
mount: fs type devpts not supported by kernel
[FAILED]
My fstab shows:
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cd-writer auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev 0 0
/dev/sr1 /mnt/cd-reader auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
I have never encountered a /dev/pts or a devpts file systemprior to the
2.2
kernel, and man mount does not mention it. Except for the error during
boot, I
have not noticed anything else that is broken, but I have not tested too
deeply.
What is this beast? How do I fix it, or if I don't need it, how to I
stop the
error message?
Thank you all in advance. John Turnbull
