Linux Server Installs on Alpha DS10 and DS10-L's without graphics cards are not usable after reboot. /etc/aboot.conf does not contain the boot parameter "console=ttyS0" /etc/securetty does not contain an entry "ttyS0" so you cannot login as root. /etc/initab does not include a mingetty for "ttyS0" so there is no console for the system. This will affect all Alpha Systems which only have a console on the Serial line (ttyS0). Additionaly, when performing a expert text install, you cannot skip the network config. This should be possible, as the final configuration of the network may not be known when 7.0 is installed (At a reseller or MFG floor)
