Here is the background: (yesterday) I decided to CVSUP this morning and compiled the kernel. Unlike yesterday, the boot hung right after the filesystem mounts/checks. I thought maybe I had better be in sync with Userland, but make build did nothing to rectify the situation. I was very careful in making new /dev's, and also merging /etc/ So I am at a total loss. The computer requires a hard reboot so I can't generate any output to look at. However, I can boot into single user mode.
(yesterday) A temporary hack: I changed the following in /etc/rc: echo 'setting tty flags' #ttyflags -a Previously it wasn't commented out. Now who knows what can of worms this hack will open up. (today) And it did. KDE locks up so that a hard reboot is necessary. So much for fooling with rc scripts. Thanks a lot. I know there is not much to go on with the hard reboots being necessary.
