[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#522211: initscripts: System doesn't boot when serial console and bootlogd enabled

[Daniel Smolik]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

When use serial console for kernel appending  console=ttyS0,115200n8 to
kernel command line system boots but stops booting after starting bootlogd.
Bootlogd prints some unknown characters to console and system stops.
Ctrl-C breaks bootlogd and system boots again. Solution is disable bootlogd
when use serial console.
