Thanks a lot.

Just an additional comment. I have this in my inittab file:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
#2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
#3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
#4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
#5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
#6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

I commented out the ttyN (with N > 1).

If I uncomment those lines then INIT complains - the following gets
regularly diplayed on my domU console:

 * INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
 * INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
 * INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
 * INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
 * INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

Could you check whether you have the same problem before modifying the
inittab hook?

Thanks,
