You also might want to see is anything changed /etc/inittab . You should have lines something like: # /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels. # # The "id" field MUST be the same as the last # characters of the device (after "tty"). # # Format: # <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> 1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 4:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 6:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 "getty" may be replaced by mingetty or something similar. If those lines are in your inittab make sure that you have the binary that they reference. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |
