Is your /dev/console character major 5 minor 1 ?

# ls -l /dev/console
crw-------    1 root     tty        5,   1 2003-12-23 13:50 /dev/console

If not:

# cd /dev
# rm console
# ./MAKEDEV console

There is one other thing. If you upgrade to 'testing', you might
get sysvinit/sysv-rc/initscripts version 2.85-7. That version
shows the symptoms you describe if you define a serial console
w/ baudrate on the kernel command line. Upgrade to 2.85-9 from
unstable (or wait until it hits 'testing').

Mike.
