I've installed a x86 system from scratch using the instructions on the homepage. This I've done in a vmware virtual machine. I've compiled everything. I used the stage1 tarball stage1-x86-1.4_pre20030220.tar.bz2 rather than the one on the 1.4rc2 cd.
Everything seems to be working as expected until after reboot. The system boots up as expected (except that I can't seem to get grub to boot the system automatically for some reason), but then hangs after having written "starting local". Nothing more happens, no matter how much I beat my keyboard. I would have expected to see a login prompt here, but I don't. The system doesn't feel totally locked, as I can flip between consoles with F1-F12 (all except F1 blank). I've debugged this so far so as to see that the "local" script finishes. The /sbin/rc script finishes too (I put an "echo hello" in the bottom of the script and it is printed after "starting local"). I even reinstalled everything again, but the same thing happened. What do I do now? // Joel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
