Hi John,

Carriage return/control-C on console seem to register (I get newlines) but with no effect - so the console connection seems to be ok. I have to destroy the instance from the console and reboot to recover. There’s no exact script where it hangs - sometimes S03mysql, sometimes S03lighttp, sometimes S03ssh


All of those are after the networking has been brought up, so I
would expect networking to be working at that point if there weren't
any error messages to the contrary.

Perhaps you just have no getty running on that console.

Could you provide:

- A log of the full boot up process

- The output of this:

    grep ^co /etc/inittab


(or the path to your /etc/inittab file if you're doing that from the
rescue VM)

Cheers,
Andy
