I have a Problem that I am not really sure is caused from the Kernel but it is the only variable that changes in the equation so I try asking what do you think about this. For the first part everything works fine all my hardware is recognized and every driver write its output in a normal way When the sysvinit application starts, a weird thing happens and a bunch of escape characters (actually always the same one "[25~") appears on my monitor in between the console output. At the end of the booting process I cannot even login because of this phenomenon and I have to reload the old kernel. I tried even to disconnect the keyboard or the mouse thinking could be an bad hardware setting but no changes. I was looking on Internet for similar bug reports but I didn't find anything. Looking at the code of the sysvinit application I suspect that the only difference is that sysvinit uses printf from user space opening a console while all drivers use printfk. Like I said the only think changing is the Kernel not the rest. I will get the last release of the 2.6.29 kernel from the git and see if with that kernel I have the same problem or not.
