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. >Mark Post Thanks Mark D Pace Senior Systems Engineer Mainline Information Systems 1700 Summit Lake Drive Tallahassee, FL. 32311 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 850-219-5184 Fax: 850-219-5050 http://www.mainline.com
