Bug#686991: installation-reports: Wheezy /etc/inittab fix needed for SheevaPlug
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
Hello, I installed Wheezy to SheevaPlug with 20120828 uImage and
uInitrd to SD card. Everything goes fine, but it doesn't give me
login prompt after reboot.
I examine the /etc/inittab, and there is no entry enabled for ttyS0.
This is crucial for SheevaPlug. Since I didn't have this
issue for Squeeze, this is a regression.

Once, it didn't detect SD card. I tried again from boot

Then, installation process went well.

/etc/inittab needed to be fixed to enable ttyS0.
Comments/Problems:
I didn't find a place to specify ^has_jornal option for ext4
partitions. It was done after installation on a different machine.
