Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
I installed Feisty from a USB stick using the 2007-03-20 netboot image and the "server" target over a serial console on ttyS1. The install went fine, but after rebooting, getty was not running on ttyS1. The installer created an /etc/event.d/ttyS1 file, but its form didn't match the other tty* files. Here's the file that the installer created: --- # ttyS1 - getty # # This service maintains a getty on ttyS1 from the point the system is # started until it is shut down again. start on runlevel-2 start on runlevel-3 start on runlevel-4 start on runlevel-5 stop on shutdown respawn /sbin/getty -L ttyS1 115200 vt102 --- I changed it to match the other tty* files: --- # ttyS1 - getty # # This service maintains a getty on ttyS1 from the point the system is # started until it is shut down again. start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5 stop on runlevel 0 stop on runlevel 1 stop on runlevel 6 respawn exec /sbin/getty -L ttyS1 115200 vt102 --- and now ttyS1 is running a login prompt. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- serial console support incorrectly installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/95626 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
