OK, here were my problems
* The damn thing in the initial install (fdisk,base install) kept going on
about tty4 something like "Bummer, tty4 not found"
* Rebooting after inital install gave me nothing after the kernel boot
check messages
* booting with init=/bin/sh showed init was looking for tty1, this system
doesn't have a tty1 Putting an entry in inittab for ttyS0 fixed it.
* Editing the inittab fixed the problem, but its a big hassle.
* Yeah, had to edit /etc/securetty too.
I don't recall seeing anything crash, but due that that VERY
annoying set of tty4 messages (about once every 2 seconds) I could
easily miss something.
These bugs sound the same to me.
