I have a livecd image built on May 9th. Booting that image, I'm able to login to console, althouth I need to press ctrl-alt-f2 first. To day, I built a new image, and with that image, I cannot log on. If I press ctrl-alt-f2, nothing happens. If I type letters, they are displayed on the current line in the terminal, but there is no login prompt.
One thing I notice about the two immages that may be related, is that the image from 9th is about 15 MB larger in size than the immage of today.
I use the same kickstart file to build the two images.
What could be the reason for this problem, or how should I go on to solve the issue?
Thanks, and regards, Lars

The first step would be to try one of the nightly live images to see if you have the same problem with it. Also the released versions will be available on Tuesday and those have been tested and should work barring hardware specific issues.
Replaying to myself:

Because my approach was to build a console livecd (without X), I did not include the group base-x in the kickstart. After including that group, I have the login prompt. Don't know which package from this group is required, and it seems strange that it worked without this group until May 9th, and stopped working sometimes afterwards.
Another thing I don't understand, is that I need to go to the second console (with ctrl-alt-f2) to find the login prompt.
