Hi to all!!!!
Ok here is the deal: i have installed with a friend a debian distro (woody) and everything went well (except for the xfree86-but the problem seemed to be with the usb mouse). Then we decided to compile the 2.4.26 and the 2.6.5 kernels as the current kernel was 2.4.18.We downloaded them,used a previous configuration for the 2.4.25 which worked perfectly on another computer and we changed only some unimportant things (p.e. i dont have ISDN so unmarked the things which referred to it). Then compiled with the 'debian' process (dpkg is really good!!!) and configured lilo..everything well till now...I have also to say that we updated all libraries and getty and some other progs.Then we booted the system crossing fingers...
All daemons started correctly,all services ok and after cron starts it is time for getty to start and give me the tty0...tty6. But...getty would not give me the consoles! I ran on runlevel 1 everything else is ok even the X starts ok,i checked many times the configuration of the kernel (compiled again and again 5 times 2.4.26,6 times 2.6.5!!),saw inittab many times and i searced on the web for any similar problems...i cannot understand what is going on! I wait for the login prompt and....wait...and wait...what could be the problem? Has anybody encountered the same problem ever?
Thanks in advance
