So I guess they also switch the console from tty1 to > tty2. Agreed that a userspace program is triggering the console switch (the boot logo normally disappears when the VC fonts get loaded), but what changed to make this happen where it wasn't happening before? I've obviously got some more detective work to do, but I had discounted the possibility of a user space software update being responsible: the Debian stable series tends not to have many updates... Hmmm... I recently updated libc6 and related packages (locales, tzdata, etc.). I don't think I'm going to track this down anytime soon, but the first step would be to determine which init script is involved. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy | "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get rct@frus.com | sucked into jet engines." --Anon ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
