Hi Albrecht:
Kai Staats, posted this yesterday; it discusses what you should note in
upgrading from YDL 4.0 to YDL 4.1. I'm not sure it addresses your
particular issues, but it could be useful:

Best wishes ...

Hi,
as my system contains *tons* of self-compiled stuff not included in
the official disto, I upgraded from YDL 4.01 to YDL 4.1 rpm's. Mostly
the new system seems to run fine, but I found an odd behaviour of the
boot process. If I boot the YDL 4.1 kernel, I see boot messages as
usual. If I boot a self-compiled 2.5.15 (stripped down to my
requirements, and without initrd) I only see the message "Warning:
unable to open an initial console". The system comes up properly,
/except/ that the console charset is not loaded, and neither info
about the boot process nor a chance to go into single user mode.
As this used to work with 4.01's rc.sysinit, I guess I missed
something either in the kernel. Or do I need the initrd? Searching the
web, I found some hints that /dev/null and/or /dev/console might be
missing, but adding commands to the beginning of rc.sysinit to
explicitly create them in this case doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Albrecht.
