[SLUG] 2.6.8 upgrade round 2

[Rod Butcher]

Having got 2.6.8 to boot by changing lilo root arg to /dev/sda1 
(compiling ext3 as module or not seems to be a furphy), everything seems 
to work except ANY console (i.e. KDE Konsole, Gnome console etc. or even 
a native console via PF1, 2  etc)... they seem to lock up when trying to 
 output data to the screen i.e. Konsole comes up and allows 
configuration via the toolbars, but can't display a cursor prompt.. like 
the native console via PF1... that allows me to type input e.g. ls, cd 
etc, but hangs up without displaying its output... as if these consoles 
are in some sort of read-only mode.
I see a comment at Mandrake that they appear to have a similar problem 
with 10.2 beta.
My earlier problem seemed to be a compatibiliy issue with a system 
installed by a previous kernel version and I suspect this is similar, 
rather than something being broken. ??? I looked in /var/log/message and 
syslog and found nothing coming up looking out of the ordinary at 
bootup, and nothing at all when Konsole loaded... anything I should look 
for specifically ?
cheers
Rod
