Hi Please try this work-around: Do a manual boot - boot xxxxx IPL
Using the built-in editor to change: console=tty (however it is set ) to console=ttyB That by-passes the "crator-on init_console" call. The boot should continue until it ends with "unable to open vitual terminal" - which may only mean a missing /dev and/or /etc/inittab entry. If you find a way to get past the "unable to open..." message - Please let me know.
