What do you mean "during init 3"? As I understand it, normally the
run level remains fixed. For Debian default is run level 2 and Red
Hat is default run level 3 --- I think.

Were you able to find anything out?
I have been able to work one thing out. It seems to be specifically
to do with the console. By going straight to kdm, upon booting, it
seems to avoid the problem. When you switch back to consoles, and
change between them, the problem shows up again.
Cheers,
