Hi Saul, maybe you're missing the util-linux package? On my etch box: ~$ locate getty /sbin/getty /usr/share/doc/util-linux/README.getty.gz /usr/share/doc/util-linux/README.modems-with-getty.gz /usr/share/man/man8/getty.8.gz To stop gdm and keep it from restarting in that session, open a terminal window, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop which should bring you back to the main console after exiting X and closing gdm. Perhaps dpkg --audit could help determine what's wrong. I'm no expert, but these steps won't cause any harm either.
