I'm still trying to figure out why my  7.0 install hangs - all 6
consoles going blank 1 second after the console login appears. Only the 3
fingered salute provides a response. I think I found something (in
/var/log/messages). This means I searched the WRONG /var/log/messages last
time :-(.  Can someone tell me what it means, (besides the fact that I'm
thick ;-) and how I should sort out the system?

Linuxconf is the last service to be started before the login screen, and I
gather I did a Ctrl-Alt-Del before atd shut down.  The hard disk control is
erratic - I think I have a dodgy disk.
