Ironically I was just having the same issue; after googling it was in
fact an old post by Andy that sorted things out for me :D
Hi,
Thanks for the tips. Most of the way there, one problem remains [see below].

Also "hvc0" in /etc/securetty, but I

upgrade does that.
Yeah, this was there.
And finally make sure udev is installed, but I
think it is on Etch
so should remain there.
It was and still is.
Now the problem I'm having is with configuring the new kernel (this was
the only dpkg issue with the upgrade, not bad). Here's the output:
laney@cripps:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

I tried to create a device.map but it didn't change anything. This looks
a lot like [0], so I guess this is a genuine bug.
Any ideas? I guess I should still be fine with etch's kernel, but I'd
obviously like to have Lenny's one if possible.
