I've narrowed this down to : the terminal emulators (konsole, gnomeconsole, xterm) load Ok but they do not fireup bash (according to the dependencies shown on the system monitor). And these consoles are really just x11 wrappers for bash aren't they ?
So... what would prevent bash running ? I'm running a homegrown 2.6.7 at the moment, on the same box, with no problems.
cheers

Make sure that CONFIG_INPUT is on in your kernel config. There've been no substantial changes between 2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1. (Don't use 2.6.8 vanilla,. BTW, it's severely broken)

Is this a serial terminal you're talking about? Or a keyboard+monitor connected directly to your machine? If the latter, is it a PS2, serial or USB keyboard?
