Mark,

I'm really not sure what's happening with your system.  On my SuSE 7.0
system, my terminal type winds up being "raw" and not "linux."  I don't know
if that's because I've implemented the bootshell program that Mike Kershaw
wrote, or if it would be happening anyway.  There is something you can do to
stop (most of, if not all of) this.
# touch /root/.bashrc
# chmod 700 /root/.bashrc
# vi /boot/.bashrc
insert the following lines:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$CONSOLE" = "/dev/console" ]; then
  TERM="raw"
  unalias ls
fi;

Save it and exit.  That most likely will not do anything for the "console
session" itself since that doesn't go through the login process, and
certainly doesn't execute root's .bashrc script.  But, if you ever logon as
root, it should act more like what you're used to seeing.

Yes these are coming out on the VM console of the linux guest.
sles001:~ # echo $TERM
echo $TERM
linux
sles001:~ #

I thought kernel problem, because that's when it started happening.  After
I IPL'ed the new kernel that I had compiled.
