![]() OpenWrt's UML with 5.15 was producing odd errors/warnings during preinit
part of the early userspace portion:
|[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: ubd0=root.img root=98:0 console=tty
|[...]
|[ 0.440000] random: jshn: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)
|[ 0.460000] random: jshn: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)
|/etc/preinit: line 47: can't create /dev/tty: No such device or address
|/etc/preinit: line 48: can't create /dev/tty: No such device or address
|/etc/preinit: line 58: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address
|[...] repeated many times
That "/dev/tty" came from the command line (which is automatically
added if no console= parameter was specified for the uml binary).
The TLDP project tells the following about the /dev/tty:
<https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Text-Terminal-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.3>
| /dev/tty stands for the controlling terminal (if any) for the current
| process.[...]
| /dev/tty is something like a link to the actually terminal device[..]
The "(if any)" is important here, since it's possible for processes to
not have a controlling terminal.
I think this was a simple typo and the author wanted tty0 there.
