[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#538257: inittab comment inconsistent with example.

[Roberto Resoli]

I actually found that leaving the id as suggested in the comment (T0)
makes the serial console
not working at all on some of our systems, where the serial console is
set up using the VSP (virtual serial port)
feature on a HP blade system.

Modifiying the id to S0, so:

S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

restores the correct functionality.

Moreover, this setup is consistent with examples in

man 5 inittab

"# Runlevel 2,3: getty on virtual consoles
 # Runlevel   3: getty on terminal (ttyS0) and modem (ttyS1)
1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty1 VC linux
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty2 VC linux
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty3 VC linux
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty4 VC linux
S0:3:respawn:/sbin/getty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt320
S1:3:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -D ttyS1"

cheers,
rob
