i was just looking into systemd recipes after reading koen's email, and definitely confirms that it will crash with it ;-) > > I assume it was originally designed for LAVA, I would go as far as to say > its a really special case which should have its own range of images > devoted to it? well, historically, it's been done as an helper for ubuntu ARM images to start the console on the 'right' port. then it was pulled into OE/meta-linaro. it's mostly required by LAVA, you're right. Though Tyler mentioned that they will eventually support non autologin image in LAVA too. more generally, i think it is still a decent feature to have, but we need to split it into 2 pieces. serial console 'config' which can be done when SERIAL_CONSOLE(S) is not defined, and auto login of root. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
