Bug#602788: live-boot-initramfs-tools: live-getty and serial console is not working as expected
Package: live-boot-initramfs-tools
Version: 2.0.11-1
Severity: normal
When I upgrade my live image building system from Lenny to Squeeze, the live-getty option is not working any more.
In config/binary
LB_BOOTAPPEND_LIVE="8250.nr_uarts=6 live-getty console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 ip=frommedia quiet textonly"
After building the image with "lb build", the login/shell prompt never appears on the serial port. This used to be working with previous version of live-helper.
Tried putting a modified inittab file into config/chroot_local-include/etc will results in incorrect modified entry. I've found the same issue on debian bug #442289.
This is installed on my build system:
ii live-build 2.0.5-1 Debian Live - System Build Scripts
Following is the package info from the live system
root@debian:~# dpkg -l |grep -i live-
ii live-boot 2.0.11-1 Debian Live - System Boot Scripts
