Are you sure this isn't the standard issue of no getty running on tty1? Try Alt-F2, it might just drop you on the login prompt. Are you running off external media or have you configured it to run off built in MMC flash? If you are running from external media check: /etc/init/start-ttys.conf /etc/sysconfig/init for the ACTIVE_CONSOLES configuration. I usually change it to disable getty on tty1 so the boot messages get preserved for any debugging that may be required.
Is there a way to bypass init and drop to single user mode? I think there have been some changes since the wiki entry was written. Firmware version is Google_Snow.2695.117.0
Possibly. The newer firmwares dropped the /boot/vmlinuz-3.4.0 file, but all that means is that you need to specify the raw kernel partition as the kernel source to the vbutil_kernel command. I am not aware of any other relevant changes. Gordan _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.redsleeve.org/mailman/listinfo/users
