My GX110 machine (probably not relevant) running a fairly fresh 8.3.30
install is currently in a stuck state.

On the vt1 (ctrl-alt-F1), we have the boot messages, ending with
(spaces not to scale):

Starting linuxconf				[  OK  ]

On vt7, we have (spaces to scale):

[root@feet-of-clay /root]# logout
console pty: Interrupted system call
                                    console pty: Interrupted system call
                                                                        console
pty: Interrupted system call
console pty: Interrupted system call

So, we seem to have a failure case involving exiting console logins.
