I doubt this is a valid version of network-console as I see no reason why it should have been backported.

You could try loading the strace udeb and running an strace on network-console. > /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! This is unrelated. > Not sure what's going on - is network-console exiting rather than > exec()ing a shell? Can you reproduce the issue with a daily built image provided by us [1]? It has 2.6.30 as kernel, so should work fine for you. You only have to proceed as far as starting network-console. If you cannot, I doubt there's anything wrong with network-console itself.
