Is this reproducible on gentoo-sources-2.6.18? If you boot without consolefont, and then set a font manually (e.g. run "setfont t" as root), does that trigger the problem? Well, I have detatched the borrwed monitor and keyboard again, returning them to their owner. However, I have tried to set the font using the command you suggested over an SSH session, and it worked just fine. No error or warning messsages, and it returned almost immediately. Do I need to try that command on the main console, or is SSH good enough? For me, setfont doesn't work unless I do it on a real terminal. Can you hang the machine by starting the consolefont service over ssh? no, i could not make it hang - it started just fine over an ssh terminal: # /etc/init.d/consolefont start # * Setting user font ... [ ok ] What else can I do to help? Next step would be looking through the /etc/init.d/consolefont script and identifying which command causes the hang. You could add some echo output in here to help determine this. Oh, it *doesn't* hang, I misread comment #4. I think you are going to need a monitor to reproduce this again, so that you can use a "real" terminal. Please reopen when/if you're able to reproduce this again. |
