OK. > You must configure /sbin/sulogin which is called from init to run on > /dev/console, then you will be fine. Also you should start a getty on OK, but remember that my problem is to find a way to access the machine when I only have a serial console and it doesn't complete the "classical" boot process because some init script at runlevel 3 is blocking... This means that I can't go up to the "configure /sbin/sulogin", and need a way to be given a serial prompt only by giving parameter at the LILO prompt, considering that the kernel has already been configured for serial console. > /dev/ttySx for multi user modes (see the serial console howto) This is already done.
