Hi Ludwig, I think this issue should be fixed by latest systemd. More specifically, this change should fix the issue you're seeing: * Mon Aug 22 2016 fbui@suse.com - Update SLE12-SP2 branch: Added: 9a785d4ef systemd: ignore lack of tty when checking whether colors should be enabled Dropped: 59617e21f pid1: reconnect to the console before being re-executed (#3842) Modified: cf23b2d5b pid1: handle console specificities/weirdness for s390 arch You need to install a systemd containing this change and normally new updates shouldn't show this issue anymore.
