[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#669049: sysvinit: changes in newer getty versions hides bootmessages

[Thilo Six]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-22.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

since the upgrade to wheezy i had a problem with the messages that are shown
during boot. During the boot messages are shown as usual on vt1 but
then at some point late in the boot process these messages are cleared and then
only the login prompt is shown on vt1 just like on vt2.
I got a hint on debian-user that getty has had an api change. To retain
the previously known behavior as it was in squeeze it is necessary to
add the new parameter '--noclear' to '/etc/inittab'.
Patch is attached.
