"Setting up Linux console..." is the point at which you are loading a console font. Which font have you specified in /etc/sysconfig/console ? Can you try a bigger / different font there, if only to prove that the choice of font is not the problem ? Perhaps try lat0-16 and iso01-12x22 ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
