2nd debian 1.2 upgrade problem: console hung
In upgrading machine #2 (see earlier post on problems with machine #1)
from debian 1.1 to 1.2, and rebooting. I got an error on reboot
something about "unable to initialize console" and the machine hung.
I thought it may have been a problem with my upgrade.
Later I decided to wipe out the drive, repartition, and install a
fresh minimum Debian 1.2 system. Now I can reboot the system fine
from the hard drive (via loadlin on the DOS side), but when I reboot
from a "rescue" disk (bootbable kernel disk), the system hangs as
before failing to find the console.
I don't have a clue how to fix this problem.
