login timeout on kernel 2.6.13 but not on 2.6.10
Hello,
When i boot from a custom compiled kernel 2.6.10, all goes well.
If i use a 2.6.13.1 kernel with the same config (or a 2.6.11, 2.6.12 for
that matter), weird stuff happens.
First of all some services stop loading and the system boot stops.
For instance, i would see the server boot and when it starts showing
messages it blocks on Spamassassin.
So i would see: "Starting Spamassassin" and that would be it. No more
further booting. Systems responds to ctrl-alkt-del.
I then proceeded to move some services from /etc/init.d/rc2.d
Then the system boots and shows me a login prompt but whenever i type
the password, the login gives a timeout after 60 seconds and the login
is aborted. I used to authenticate against ldap but i changed this in
/etc/nsswitch.conf to "files" to be sure ldap isn't the problem.
As it is, i'm stuck with a 2.6.10 kernel and i don't know why :)
I thought it might have been a udev problem and that maybe the udev
rules would not make a /dev/console. When i boot the 2.6.10, it's there.
/etc/udev/rules.d contains links to udev.rules, permissions.rules and
cd-aliases.rules.
udev is version 0.056-3 0 (stable) and hotplug is version 0.020040329-25
0 (unstable)
I have no idea what is going on. Any ideas?
Regards,
Benedict
