[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#181756: debian boot to multiple consoles

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi Joel,

Thanks a lot for your ping. Without it, I wouldn't have find this bug
report at all.

I have commited the fix in the Git of sysvinit:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/sysvinit;a=commitdiff;h=a4f7bab

I have for the moment only tested the fix in Wheezy, in a cloud
environment, and I could see both the ttyS0 console (which is for me
available through "nova console-log"), and the normal tty0 console
(using VNC / SPICE in OpenStack). Then I tried installing the newly
patched bootlogd, and it seemed to continue to work for me (that machine
is a Xen domU).

So if everything goes well, the fix will be uploaded together with the
next version of sysvinit! :)

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
