Ah-Ha! > i've attached a copy of the console log. any idea what runs > after the network_misc script? Not much...on a handy test system: # ls /etc/rc2.d/ -1 S00sysklogd S02netstd_init S03netbase S10ssh S10watchdog S15cron S16rmnologin S30dhcpd S30netstd_misc S55vpn-ssh S60dnscache So the only thing running after netstd_misc is stuff from packages you're not loading (ssh and dnscache). So what's going on? Your system is *NOT* hung, it just looks that way. The console is running on your KB/Monitor, which you have disconnected. The default system doesn't have entries in /etc/inittab to bring up a console on the serial port, so once your system is actually 'running', and out of the init process (which uses the kernels definition of the console device), you don't have a way to login. You need to temporarily hook up a KB/Monitor to your system, edit /etc/inittab to create a console on one (or more) of your serial ports and verify everything works. Then you can pull the KB/Monitor, and leave them disconnected. NOTE: You will likely also have to edit a couple other files...see my serial-HOWTO for details: http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/Documentation/LRP-Serial-HOWTO.txt Charles Steinkuehler http://lrp.steinkuehler.net http://c0wz.steinkuehler.net (lrp.c0wz.com mirror) _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
