    One of your startup scripts took a hit or the binary files for tty setup took a hit.

    Inspect and see how the filesystem is. Which filesystem is it? Did you fsck it yet?

    OS: SuSE 9.3 Pro

    Friday night, there was an extended power outage which exhausted the UPSes
    forcing a shutdown. When this system (running on Dell 600SC hardware) came
    back up, there were no logins on tty1 - tty6 and several processes failed
    to start (cups, postfix, postgrey, for example). These are all configured
    to start on system boot. KDE appears to work and I can login in via ssh.

    If I attempt to manually start a getty (e.g., mingetty tty2), the shell
    session goes away. tty2 - tty6 are blank and tty1 has the bootup stuff.

    I did a system repair from the SuSE media to no avail so I restored the
    root filesystem from the previous week's master backup (/home was not
    restores to avoid losing email, etc. received since the last backup).
    However the problem persists.

    I am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot, much less fix this problem.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thank you,
    Lucky Leavell
