I'm not sure what I recently upgraded, but I thought nothing. All of a sudden my system stops booting where init would normally appear to takeover. The system will actually boot up all the way and I can ssh into it, except the console output stops right where it says it mounted the root fs. Has anyone seen this before? I've tried upgrading a few things to fix this, such as init, etc, but cannot seem to get console display back. I'm running kernel 2.6.16.28-xen-r2.

Last line before hang:

VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem).

Hi,

Probably some[/list][/list] /dev/ entries for the console are now missing,
suspects would be
  • hal
  • udev
  • baselayout


If you can ssh to the machine, check if the
Code:
/dev/tty*
and
Code:
/dev/console
entries exist.

Also check the output of
Code:
dmesg



regards
