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').
