I know you were trying to assist. It just drives me crazy when important things get broken and people act like.. What the big deal. I don't need it why should you? I still have not solved the going to comsonsole mode if there is no keyboard detected crap, new "feature". Yea great for those who could benifit from it.. But I have YET to have one person be able to show me how to STOP it from doing that. Why??? gosh why?? Becouse I don't want serial console and I don't have a keyboard on every server. So if I walk into the datacenter and try to access a server that has been rebooted.. I'm screwed! I have to ssh from some other server that has not been rebooted and if I NEED console.. then I have to reb oot the server. That detrimeature still has me pissed and the people I do work for scratching their head wanting to know why I install such a "broken" OS. They don't know and can't directly see the good things... managers and clients can only see it when you have to strugle to do something that should not be so obtuse.
