I ran into this identical problem after upgrading from 2.6.18 to 2.6.21-686 using knoppix and debian package sources.

The error message is not good enough to help me resolve this issue. It indicates that there is a "konsole configuration problem" when actually, it is not related to Konsole at all, but more a general pty problem. I'm unable to start any X like terminals. When i try to start xterm, it says: "not enough ptys". 


Adding the line as shown in /etc/fstab did not fix my problem either.

I realize this is not exactly a Konsole bug, but does someone else have a suggestion as to what I should try next?
