Bug#806793: systemd: can one have systemd output on both, serial console and tty0?

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: systemd
Version: 228-2
Severity: wishlist


Hey.

Not sure whether this is a wishlisht, bug or whether I just oversee anything ;-)

When configuring the kernel for serial console ouput, i.e. sth. like
console=ttySx,115200n8 ...
I'd actually like to have output on both, serial consol and VGA, so I
configure:
console=ttySx,115200n8 console=tty0

Now that works partially fine, i.e. I get the *kernel* output
at the VGA and the serial console, but everything that systemd
(or some part of the init system, not sure whether it's a part
of systemd) prints out... e.g. the OK messages of started services,
the stuff from fsck and so on... only goes to tty0.

I guess this is simply because it outputs to /dev/console,
which is with the above config the later.

So a) is there a way to tell systemd/init to output to both?
And if not... b) can we get that? :-)


Best wishes,
Chris.
