I see the same problem. It's not a hang, but a framebuffer display with no program writing to it. Apparently jfbterm has some problems working with this kernel: + exec /usr/bin/jfbterm -q -c other,EUC-JP,iconv,UTF-8 -e /usr/sbin/base-config new ioctl FBIOGET_CON2FBMAP: Invalid argument The reason you saw a hang with Russian also (and possibly the cause of other recent problems with russian), is that with LANG=ru_RU, "locale charmap" returns ISO-8859-5. All the code in termwrap for Russian assumes the encoding is KOI8-R. The fallback terminal for unknown encodings such as ISO-8859-5 is the non-working jfbterm. I suppose the new countrychooser fixes this. -- see shy jo
