Console on serial line
[Please reply to list!]
Provided the bug I told you about is fixed try booting with:
boot: live live-getty console=ttyS0,38400n8
If that works and you want to dispense with the live-getty you need to
hack the code in the initramfs. This can be done in the live-helper
chroot and the initramfs then regenerated. look in the chroot under
/usr/share/live-initramfs (or simmilar) and grep for live-getty... You
need to find where the kernel command line is parsed and make sure
that the action taken for live-getty being on the command line is
taken irrespetive of the commandline state...
I personally don't know why live-getty has not become the default auto
login method... but then I'm biased as I wrote it!
Seriously though it does the same job as the current default but also
has additional benefits.
Anyway... if you look at the live-helper code and the live-initramfs
code you will find it very powerfull!
Goodluck
PS: I thing the bug fix I refered you to earlier is going in
"upstream" so probably will be in the next release of live-initramfs.
