[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#784334: Inaccessible emergency shell on serial console

[Gaudenz Steinlin]

Package: openstack-debian-images
Version: 1.2
Severity: normal

If booting fails for some reason systemd enters emergency mode and opens
a shell. Unfortunately this shell is on the serial console which on
openstack is read-only. There is no way to type anything on this shell.

The emergency shell should instead be on tty1 so that the vnc or spice
access built into openstack can be used to access the shell.
