Hello everyone, I'm publishing a minor beta release which will, assuming testing goes well, become SysV init 3.00. The new package contains just one notable change: the bootlogd can now accept just about any device name to use as the console. In the past we limited the console (passed in on the kernel command line) to known TTY devices.
Thanks to a submitted patch from Matthias Schiffer bootlogd should now work with any available console that is specified on the kernel command line.Instead of checking a limited set of names bootlogd will now accept any device, but check to make sure it is a TTY console or compatible device. The new beta release can be download from here: http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/sysvinit/ Please let me know in the next few weeks if there are any issues. If I don't get any bug reports this will become version 3.00. Jesse
