Package: network-console Version: 0627 (backports) I'm using the version from http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ since I'm installing on a new Dell R410 and it requires 2.6.29 or later.
It's a network preseed install and although I can ssh in and /bin/network-console runs fine, if I select the option to "Start shell" then the connection just terminates. Changing /etc/passwd to run /bin/sh instead works fine. I can then run /bin/network-console, select "start-shell and I am returned to the prompt. /var/log/syslog states: sshd[9487]: Accepted password for installer from 10.0.0.1 port 36721 ssh2 sshd[9488]: lastlog_filetype: Couldn't stat /var/log/lastlog: No such file or directory sshd[9488]: lastlog_openseek: /var/log/lastlog is not a file or a directory! touch()ing the file stops those errors but it still fails to log me in (even if I stop/start sshd) Not sure what's going on - is network-console exiting rather than exec()ing a shell?
