(You can test by running "startx xterm" if the xinit package is installed.)Interesting. Still working on this one. startx was complaining something about xorg.conf so I just renamed it, and then it started up. Pretty frozen at this point, no keyboard, only reset button helps, but I do get network response - there is ping, initial ssh response but nothing more, can't actually log in.Hm. Might be possible to get a log with netconsole[1]. [1] http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt http://blog.mraw.org/2010/11/08/Debugging_using_netconsole/
Tried this again and this time I got a total hang again.Then I got it to work with the config file so I first tried fbdev and it worked, then when I switched to nouveau I got again this situation that it's pretty much hung but with ping.
SSH does respond with failed authentication when it's the wrong password, but no successful login is possible.
I'm gonna study netconsole now, let's see if I can figure it out.
