I've rebooted the 2.0.29 kernel several times all with the same result (I
also deleted the wtmp and utmp files before rebooting). Then it clicked I
was running 2.0.28, so I re-installed that image, ran lilo, rebooted and
now it's perfect.
Yes, it corrupts all TTY's - consoles, telnets and serial ports. It can
only be the kernel because I changed absolutely nothing after a degraded
all the packages and still got those problems. Hmmm, I wonder what the
differences in 28 and 29 are?
