I can get a Unicode VT console without any hassle with sysvinit. I can get my hosts rebooted without fiddling with stty with sysvinit. I cannot do both (as of jessie) with systemd. Presumably systemd has its merits, but VT handling is not one of them. I agree that there're many cornercases in sysvinit's VT handling, but inability to shut down and reboot is always a touchy subject to me. But I'm not intending to start a flamewar here (although it's a Friday night ;), this 'unable to reboot' thing is clearly a minor bug ether in systemd or jessie's kernel. > If you ever need to log in the console before getty ran > (i.e. in single-user mode, etc), *always* run "stty sane" as the first > thing. > Otherwise, you might find yourself on a shell that doesn't have many of > the interrupt signals working from the vty. I don't know as I never tried that. Either getty is working for me or I'm booting with init=/bin/sh. But thank you for the advise. Reco
