[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#489206: Entering passphrase doesn't honor console/serial selection properly

[Uwe Hermann]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm seeing issues wrt to entering dm-crypt passphrases when using the
kernel parameters 'console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200' (to get the boot
log on both the screen and on the serial console (COM1).

In such a case I can only enter the passphrase on the serial console,
but _not_ on the normal keyboard/screen, which is obviously a bug.

If I only provided 'console=ttyS0,115200' the behviour would be ok, but
when using 'console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200' both consoles (serial and
VGA) should work.


Thanks, Uwe.
