Thanks for your help Kwan. I don't think getty is the culprit here.
Init says it can't start getty, but only because getty can't start
(disabled because respawning too fast) because it waiting on another
broken library. So how do I see what library that is? If I could see
the full boot message that scrolls past super quickly (not dmesg, and
not /var/log/messages) I think it might name the problem library. -Eric
