[Wlug] SUN Ultra1 booting (still, sorry)

[ken jones]

I used genkernel to compile my 2.6.20-gentoo-r5 kernel.

After much thrashing I got it to boot.  All looked good until the very 
end when it claimed that it "Failed to set the user font" announced the 
name of my machine and gave me the login prompt.  It would not respond 
to any keyboard input.  After a minute or two it printed a line about 
"disabled for 5 minutes" and went permanently dead.  See below.  Any ideas?
