Hi all,

I have an interesting problem.

Running Redhat on a Pentimum Pro 180 (64MB etc.) Kernel version 2.0.29
with the vfat32 patches (has worked well for ages).

At login on the console, (mgetty) you can enter your UID and PASSWORD,
then the screen clears and a fresh login screen is displayed.

Fortunately, it is still possible to remote login over TCP. (One of my
main uses!)

Recently, I reinstalled a base system 2.0.30 to get things going again.
After the redhat upgrade process I was able to correctly login on the
console (kernel 2.0.29 the redhat 2.0.30 didn't have vfat32 and I have
not yet patched it). However after continuous running 4 days including a
weekend, the system has reverted to the old fault of not being able to
login on the console.

Any thoughts?

Regards
Terry
