It still hangs after the same message.
Ok, it's absolutely possible, so please post the complete information set for _this_ problem, like you did before for the original one. However before create /dev/console (see below). > I set most things to built-in because I had not done anything with the > modules directory on the Fedora Core root I was using. > > Wrong solution. > Hey...at least I'm trying to figure things out, rather than expecting > someone on the mailing list to fix it for me.

Ok, my memory was betraying me... and likely the message I'm used to see is slightly different. Then loopmount the rootfs and do: mknod --mode=600 /dev/console c 5 1 I guess that was missed when replacing devfs... and In this case, there's another possibility: the consoles are failing to start but the "Disabling c1 for 5 minutes : respawning too often" is not going to /dev/console. If you see that after creating /dev/console, cross-check the *getty lines in inittab with the existing devices - you should have lines referring to tty1-7, not vc/1-7 or whatever. This sentence in your first mail is a bit suspicious: "plus I've added the /dev links needed to boot without devfs" If by "/dev links" you mean indeed "symlinks" I don't understand well what you did and it could be wrong. I mean, you could have either: a) used MAKEDEV b) setup udev and created basic device nodes only and both things are correct (the 1st is simpler to get right, but vanila Fedora 4 expects to work with udev). Or you have created symlinks to what? > Sorry...didn't read through the whole session in the documentation > before, since I was never getting the gdb xterm I expected. No problem. However for now let's concentrate on the main problem - post what I asked and we'll see. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
