Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console



Hi,

While booting, I get the following error/warning message which keeps repeating until I press CTRL-C after which the boot process continues normally and everything is fine.

Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console

This is a e450 box and I am accessing it through the serial console /dev/ttyS0.
In /etc/inittab, I commented out the tty entries

#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 #2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 #3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 #4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 #5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 #6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
and uncommented

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100

Ideally I would like it to use a monitor when one is plugged in, otherwise all the console output should be directed to the serial console.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
