I was talking about the following check: whether initrd has configured the console yet or not. I haven't figured out how exactly to communicate this information from the initrd to the main init scripts, but however I implement it, I suppose this will be Debian-specific. Anyway, the things will work even without such checks, so maybe your proposed solution can be used unchanged after all... Anton Zinoviev
