    Above fix is a temporary fix. After this temporary fix, you can do the steps given below to have a permanent fix.

    After entering your VPS, edit the file /etc/rc.sysinit and search for the line /sbin/start_udev and comment it.

    vi /etc/rc.sysinit
    #/sbin/start_udev

    Then add the following two lines under /sbin/start_udev

    #/sbin/start_udev
    /sbin/MAKEDEV tty
    /sbin/MAKEDEV pty

    Then reboot your vps. This will fix your issue.

    vi /etc/rc.sysinit
