[Clfs-support] Unable to login Keyboard not responding

[Ian Macdonald]

Thanks for that.

Compiling in HID support (usbhid) solved the problem of not being able to
enter anything at the login: prompt but login still hung.

After a period of considering whither to reformat and go back to Gentoo, I
noticed that the /etc/login.defs was expecting a /etc/securetty
file which did not exist.

# If defined, either full pathname of a file containing device names or
# a ":" delimited list of device names.  Root logins will be allowed only
# upon these devices.
#
CONSOLE        /etc/securetty
#CONSOLE    console:tty01:tty02:tty03:tty04

uncommenting the list didn't work ( tty01 ?) but copying a /etc/securetty
file from the host Arch setup did.

Now it seems to work

Thanks again
