That's right. That's how it is supposed to work. > reverse the two "console" statements above, the output changes accordingly > (everything appears on the VGA console, but only a subset appears on the > serial console.) Yes. The _kernel_ logs to both consoles, but whatever opens /dev/console connects to just _one_ console. > The problem seems to be related to kernel logging (klogd), since klogd > doesn't log ALL messages to syslogd either (there are the SAME lines > missing in /var/log/kern.log as in the cases described above.) klogd only logs kernel messages, it doesn't log what is written to /dev/console as those are not kernel messages.
