Normally this should be sufficient. How exactly did you boot the installer (with what parameters)? What exactly do you mean by "the system appeared to hang"? Was there indeed a correct T0: line in /etc/inittab (please send us the inittab as created by the installer)? If there was, why would your system need an additional co: line where other systems with serial console setup do not? Cheers, FJP
