"mount point /dev/pts does not exist"

Hi

I'm trying to get ubuntu (9.10) running on the beagleboard. I
downloaded the demo image from here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#Demo_Image

I've partitioned the sd card ok (I had angstrom running on it). So all
I did was unzip the contents of the demo image and put them onto the
second partition of the beagleboard, but it gets part of the way down
the start up, then says:

mount: mount point /dev/pts does not exist
mountall: mount /dev/pts [57] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /dev/pts
mount: mount point /dev/shm does not exist
mountall: mount /dev/shm [58] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /dev/shm
mount: mount point /dev/pts does not exist
mountall: mount /dev/pts [62] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /dev/pts
mount: mount point /dev/shm does not exist
mountall: mount /dev/shm [63] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /dev/shm

The files do exist on the sd card. Is this something obvious? Sorry,
my linux-fu is weak. Any ideas?

cheers

Little Strange.. Just for confirmation, this is from this:

ubuntu-9.10-minimal-armel-1.1.tar.7z

and not the lucid demo image?

Are you using the vmlinuz from the ubuntu-9.10-minimal-armel-1.1? when
creating your uImage?

You followed the wiki when unziping?

What's your host x86 os?

ah, sorry, it's working now, thanks. I didn't follow all the
instructions on the page (http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu). Now
I'm having trouble with running sudo. It says "sudo: must be setuid
root". Any clue?

Weird.. Are you running sudo from the default user? From that user
is tested and should work..

Otherwise looking at the sudo faq, it might be a permission problem
after extracting..

thanks, got it. Had to do

chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo
chmod 4111 /usr/bin/sudo

on the pc.

cheers!
