It sounds as though you might have booted the STI ISO, but used a serial console. You get the login prompt on the serial console, because that is where inittab starts a getty. Sounds like kernel printk output is displayed on the STI console, sugests you are using the STI kernel. Not sure about this though... Check the kernel boot params; do you have console=tty0 or console=ttyS0? You can try the 0.9.1 CD from http://mkhppa1.esiee.fr which should auto-detect which console you used and route messages appropriately. Richard
