Hello Laurent,

you are right, it seems to be a kernel issue (there is a kernel patch
which causes it, I've currently reversed it).

from what I can remember, my /dev/console is 644.

regarding the real dev, I've suspected that is the issue but I don't
have a /dev mount entry in my fstab so I assume it is the same.
I think I use static /dev.

what kernel options should I check?
I did tried with console=foobar, it didn't worked.

Thanks,

Eial.
