You didn't show us your config, that's what <0.5 wink>. Clearly you
didn't configure it correctly.
Here's what I did ended up with, after reading that email:
title Debian GNU/Linux (2.4.18-custom.3 , 1280x1024x24)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-custom.3 root=/dev/hda1 read-only
video=vesa vga=0x31B console=/dev/tty1
boot
Last night my machine rebooted (power failure, I assume) but it had no
problems coming back up on its own. I haven't checked to see if all
syslog messages go only to tty1 now rather than whatever the current
one is.
HTH,
