During the boot process, when rc scripts (or whatever) are printing messages, I turn on the scroll lock. As a result, I stop hearing my hard drive seeking, indicating that the system isn't loading. However, when I turn off the scroll lock, the boot process doesn't continue. It just hangs at the message that was last printed before I turned on the scroll lock. This happens when I turn on the scroll lock some time after "Creating and/or trimming log files" is printed, but before the vty login prompts show up. At this point I can't use the vtys (login, switch). CTRL+ALT+DEL seems to properly restart the system. But if I wait for 30 seconds, a login prompt finally shows up. The things to note is that (1) the text from the scripts never got printed, and (2) the system should have been loaded in 2 seconds, not 30.
