Sure, that's fine, I don't actually care about the speed as such, it's just that that happens to be part of the finish-install script and I wanted to check that it worked. A patch recently went into d-i upstream to fix this anyway (see the linked bug), so we should get it soon. ** Bug watch added

2006-11-24 Thread Scott James Remnant
Ah, I see; this is pretty similar to the existing server case where we sometimes add a serial console getty. I think that's the appropriate way to tackle this here; as we can't tell on a strictly architecture level whether or not the machine is likely to have getty-on-VT or getty-on-Serialishness

Correct. There is no VT, only the console on /dev/hvc0 (in fact, my previous /etc/event.d/ example should do a getty on /dev/hvc0, not /dev/console). Rather than having to worry about every possible console configuration, can the installer set up a /etc/event.d/ file to point to the console where

Those are cell blades. They don't have a graphic chip and like most IBM servers, the kernels don't actually need VT support since they don't actually need any graphic card. They are generally used via serial or HV console. -- no console started on cell machine https://launchpad.net/bugs/72832 --
