Can you try putting echo statements in /etc/rc.d/rc and see whether
that is run (and if so, how far it gets...)
(I don't know how good you are at shell programming. If you want help
with this, please ask).
It might help if you switched to runlevel 3 (run telinit 3, edit
/etc/inittab and reboot, or edit the kernel command line at reboot)
so there's only the one console to worry about.
Hope this helps,
James.
