Ctrl-Alt-F1 used to reach a login prompt on the console, but my debian testing based box simply shows the booting process up to the "/dev/sdb1: clean, ..... " message, and is unresponsive.
All of the other virtual consoles work as expected, but I would still like to solve the problem. I have inspected journalctl logging during/after the last boot and nothing stands out.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Sounds like your system expects a graphical window manager on tty1 but isn't running one? http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html should explain all the ins and outs. You'll want to poke at systemd's getty.service and possibly its logind.conf file as well. Cheers, Jamon
