<snip> This doesn't seem to be a big problem but I would like to fix > > it -- any > > ideas???? Hi, Since using the new disc all seems to be well except for the warning message on boot "unable to open an initial console", the screen freezes until x is started. The computer then works fine nut on shutdown I have a scrolling message on the screen, something about creating a dir /mnt/fixit --- etc. It scrolls so fast that I can't read it. I have tried the pause key but the screen kept on scrolling. I have checked my logs but can't see any mention of the advise. How can I a) stop the screen scrolling on shutdown and stay displayed long enough to read, or b) can I force the messages into a file so that I can read them on the next boot?
