Still no console. I have no idea where to go next. Changing options in the kernel, which has worked for many months, results in a failed make due to missing kernel drivers. Changing nvidia drivers didn't help either. I checked the inittab file to see if anything got changed but it looks like it always has. Of course, since I could login blindly and reboot, we know agetty is being spawned like normal. I might add, during the boot up, the usual kernel lines and services starting was scrolling up the screen. The best I can figure, once the GUI starts, it can't switch back to a console. Anybody have other ideas? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
