Yes, tty2 problem is at stage2. I have considered trying with bash, a static bash and ash shells but to no avail. Is there any need for a udev filesystem over devfs filesystem for /dev ? i am presuming as No, but does it? I am currently looking into the init code.

My distro does not have such a locale archive. What exactly is anaconda trying to get from locales? where does it look for for and what comprises of a correct locale/locale archive in terms of anaconda? maybe i can hack out little details of it? > > > Also, i have xorg running successfully and then the next instant it > > crashes with an IO error 104 in mini-wm.
