Hi All,<br><br>I've been trying to put together a one off CentOS 4 based distro, and<br>I ran into some trouble. First off just so you know we've been doing<br>this with CentOS 3 and with RedHat 9 before that, so the inexperience
<br>is only with the delta between CentOS 3 and CentOS 4 (and RHEL 3 and<br>RHEL 4 by extension).<br><br>Anyway, the problem is that for some reason /dev/console is not<br>getting created. We get completely through the installation, in what
<br>looks like a successful manner, but when we reboot at the point init<br>would come up with see nothing at all, and there it sits. I went<br>through many contortions including including using bash as init and<br>then starting init manually with strace turned on. This all lead to
<br>the conclusion that for some reason init was not getting a console. I<br>happened to look in the dev directory between a normal minimal install<br>of CentOS 4 and our "minimal install" and noticed there was no
<br>/dev/console. I manually added this and now the system boots fine.<br><br>For now I've added the creation of /dev/console to the end of the<br>kickstart's %post, which works, but does anyone have any ideas why its<br>
not being created?<br><br>Thanks...james<br>_______________________________________________<br>CentOS mailing list<br><a href="mailto:CentOS@centos.org">CentOS@centos.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos">
