When using ttyLv0 as a console you also need to start a getty there, similar to an ttyS0 entry. Otherwise no login prompt will appear there. My inittab looks a bit different but I don't see some obvious reasons why yours isn't popping up a login-prompt on tty1, at least on the first glance. Just booting to single user mode works?
Not yet. This time without dope in ttyLv0 the booting log is:
proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) Starting udevd: /sbin/udevd --daemon error initializing netlink socket Triggering udev events: /sbin/udevtrigger Adding 491864k swap on /dev/hda1.

For filesystem checking to work properly, your system must initially mount the root partition as read only. Please modify your kernel with 'rdev' so that it does this. If you're booting with LILO, add a line:
read-only
to the Linux type 'lilo' to reinstall it.
If you boot from a kernel on a floppy disk, put it in the drive and type: rdev -R /dev/fd0 1
If you boot from a bootdisk, or with Loadlin, you can add the 'ro' flag.
This will fix the problem *AND* eliminate this annoying message Press ENTER to continue.
But now I can't use keyboard. I have tried to make l4linux with keyboard module and without keyboard module twice. I can't still use keyboard, too. What is the matter?
Input should be available in minicom when using ttyLv0 as a console. Direct input on the testbox will not work in this case (single-user). Additionally, add 'ro' to the Linux kernel command line to mount the root partition read-only initially.
