Quoth Kazutaka YOKOTA on Mon, 26 July: : : >After upgrading from 3.2 CD to 3.2-STABLE, the console disappears : >when the kernel boots. How can I stop this behaviour? : : I think you should still be able to login to the system via network. : Send me /var/run/dmesg.out, /boot.config, /boot/loader.rc and your : kernel configuration file for examination. (Sorry. Insufficient clarity is ever the petty hobgoblin that haunts my email. Or is it otiose purple? I forget.) What I mean to describe is that, from the time /boot/loader beings a "boot" until "Login:", no console activity is visible. If it never gets that far -- c'est perdu. Attempting to "boot -s" results in no better results: No prompt ever appears. Sometimes I can ctl-alt-del my way back to the BIOS, in order to boot a different kernel, and sometimes I can't. I'm expecting that there is a config element required in order to avoid this behaviour. Inspection of GENERIC and LINT did not make it evident, however, and a bisection search on LINT would take an absurd amount of time, hence my query.
