mknod errors on boot

[Muhammad Imran]

Helo everybody,

When my Fedora Core 4 system boots up, i get these error message on the very 
first boot screen:

mknod: error creating /dev/console : 17
mknod: error creating /dev/null : 17
mknod: error creating /dev/zero : 17

However, sometimes mysteriously these errors disappear and system boots up 
fine. I have tried several re-boots but haven't seen these errors. But, at 
times i still get these errors. I did a google search, and read man page of 
mknod but couldn't get any clue about these errors.

any thoughts?

Thanks,
Imran.
