I've never had that problem but then I've always made /boot my first |
22 |
partition. |

No, the line is 149. |

You see, I've got this as part of my kernel command line: |
33 |
|
34 |
console=tty1 |
35 |
|
36 |
The code section from the linuxrc file is part of the kernel command |
37 |
line check as part of a bash(sh) "do" loop: |
38 |
|
39 |
CONSOLE=*|console=*) |
40 |
CONSOLE=${x#*=} |
41 |
CONSOLE=$(basename ${CONSOLE}) |
42 |
# exec >${CONSOLE} <${CONSOLE} 2>&1 |
43 |
|
44 |
If you change your "console=" value on the command line then the new |
45 |
console choice is redirected. If the hash is in place then the |
46 |
console is not redirected and usually you get console output writing all |
47 |
over your splash screen. |

I'm not sure I can help you here. My root filesystem is on an LVM volume |
60 |
(as are all the rest of my filesystems except for my /boot partition. |
