One more comment about this. Do you have console output when you hit ctrl-alt-f12 if you do not I see the problem. The problem is that at some point you did not have a /dev/tty12 and that syslog-ng is writing to a file instead of sending the console messages to the console that you get when pressing ctrl-alt-f12 To fix this. stop syslog-ng /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop jmd0 john # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop syslog-ng |* Stopping syslog-ng... Then kill it to make sure it has quit (it did not on my system): jmd0 john # pkill syslog-ng then delete /dev/tty12 jmd0 john # rm /dev/tty12 Then create /dev/tty12 again jmd0 john # mknod /dev/tty12 c 4 12 Then restart syslog-ng jmd0 john # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart syslog-ng |* Starting syslog-ng...
