chmod +r /dev/kmem?

After patching Minix 1.5 with Patch 1 & 2 (virtual consoles and that stuff)
I've got problems with accessing /dev/lp. Whenever I do that (just lpr for
example) I'll get a kernel panic. Really strange. I did all that patching
and compiling two times, to be sure. I used the ACK compiler, in case that
helps. The rest works fine; even the virtual consoles... :-)

Any hints?
