Boot up stops to tell me about devpts and then boots fine.

[rberry88]

I just installed gentoo via a stage 3 install using the gentoo-sources kernel. I followed the guide to a "T" and now when I boot up it gets right before the Interactive bootup part and stops with a countdown timer of 15 seconds that displays a whole paragraph about needing devpts compiled into the kernel because gentoo requires this (even though the guide says you don't unless you have kernel 2.6). After the timer reaches 0 or I hit enter then it finishes booting up just fine.

My question is, should I just recompile the kernel and include this and will it go away?? Or just learn to live with it?

Here is where I read it in the guide -- see the part about /dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs :

that says that you shouldnt use /dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs without a 2.6. kernel

Right, I understand that, but I'm wondering why it stops my bootup to tell me that I should have it compiled in my kernel. I know that the handbook tells me not to mark it to compile unless I have a 2.6 kernel. The thing is, I don't have a 2.6 kernel and its still stopping my boot (momentarily) to tell me about it.

Here is my current kernel:

ok, more exactly no /dev/pts in 2.4. kernels
gentoo is not running with full optimizations without /dev filesystem support
