Yes, this machine boots fine into the console. > How about if you boot into single-user mode?

When I boot into single-user mode I get the same results as you, ie. no output to the screen after the "Setting up X sockets" message. I can blindly log in as root at this point also. If I hit ctrl-d instead of the password, booting continues normally, ie. with regular terminal output. Geordie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
