I also think that there is a problem with the tty subsystem. I've been having a terible time trying to get ppp conections -- it appears that the full login text which my internet provider sends isn't making it to my system -- if I have a look at /var/log/messages, where all of my pppd/chat logs it's input and output, it is clear that some lines get their first few letters cut off.
Also I've noticed this problem with other loggings from syslogd -- some of the kernel messages, from the boot process, are missing their first few letters. i.e. "Unix sockets" is now often appearing as "x sockets".
This has started happening to me since kernel version 1.3.71 and is still present in 1.3.74. Sometimes it takes 5 attempts before I can sucessfully login to my ISP.
Eric.
