This may sound stupid but which key do you press when you're prompted? It's known that some buggy terminals send newline twice if enter is pressed. Try pressing an alphanumeric key. Heh. This was five years ago (today!) that we cloned this into RHEL. Hardware would have been remote connections from RHEL client boxes to Cyclades TS-800 terminal server boxes connected to the serial ports on the actual RHEL servers, as I recall. Think we probably tried a number of different keys as the "any" key; space and enter both seem like reasonable things to have tried. Further note that we cloned this because we were reproducing it on our hardware on RHEL, it started life as a Fedora Core bug. Hi, Could you somehow determine if this is still an issue - I cannot reproduce it with virtual machine and rhel5.9. Regards Vaclav Due to current lack of response closing as wontfix. |
