ps.  Does SuSE redirect the console to a different tty?  I know that
some distributions do that, you have to switch to the specific tty
(alt+fn<n>) to see the console messages.  I have never liked that idea,
when the system crashes you often lose the ability to switch the
current tty so you cannot get to the console.
