Cannot get a login-prompt (Sun Ultra 1)
Sorry for applying to the "clueless newbie award" :-/
My Ultra 1 has been running fine quite a time with Sarge. I compiled
my own kernel because I needed the Happy Meal patch to have a reliable
NIC.
Today I decided to re-attach keyboard an a monitor to that box - and
noticed I cannot get a login: there is no login prompt.
Neither X Free (kdm) nor any other console were accessible.
Looking in the logs (network access works still fine) I noticed:

If I move the mouse it seems to be recognized:
| sunmouse: Successfully adjusted to 1200 baud.
Is there anyone who has a hint where I should look for? (If you have
to point me to a different mailing list you are welcome)
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
