[olug] TTY problem

[Dan Anderson]

Try this:
echo xvc0 >> /etc/securetty
mknod /dev/xvc0 c 204 191

It looks like you have a getty setup from your log message.

Being a virtual box, I cannot just hookup a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to it to work on the true screen.  The odd part of this is, I CAN use ssh to get into the box and work on it.  Good for me BUT not for the person who may come up from behind me to support this in the future.  I will do some looking to see if there is something else in the kernel command line like you mentioned...I am sshing from my desktop, not the host.
