So I guess they also switch the console from tty1 to > tty2. I don't disagree with Geert's statement (the console was switching when the console fonts got loaded during system initialization), but the problem no longer exists in 2.6.23-rc5. Weird. N.B.: it could have been fixed in 2.6.23-rc4, but I didn't try that kernel. In any event, I'll quit looking for the cause unless the problem recurs :-). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Tracy | "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist- " rct@frus.com | - Last words of Union General John Sedgwick, | Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, U.S. Civil War ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - 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/
