OK, here were my problems * The damn thing in the initial install (fdisk,base install) kept going on about tty4 something like "Bummer, tty4 not found" * Rebooting after inital install gave me nothing after the kernel boot check messages * booting with init=/bin/sh showed init was looking for tty1, this system doesn't have a tty1 Putting an entry in inittab for ttyS0 fixed it. * Editing the inittab fixed the problem, but its a big hassle. * Yeah, had to edit /etc/securetty too. I don't recall seeing anything crash, but due that that VERY annoying set of tty4 messages (about once every 2 seconds) I could easily miss something. These bugs sound the same to me. -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
