[Bug 896402] New: kiwi: Multiple console= don't work
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896402 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=896402#c0 Summary: kiwi: Multiple console= don't work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201408* Platform: aarch64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: ms@suse.com ReportedBy: agraf@suse.com QAContact: ms@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- The kernel and systemd support multiple console= cmdline parameters to enable output on a multitude of console outputs. For example you can do console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1 console=tty to have both UARTs and graphical output. The kiwi initrd however does not support this. When I configure my system like above, I see kernel output of the first UART, but no kiwi shell output or PXE installer output. The reason we need this is that for the "generic" EFI image on AArch64, we don't know which serial port the target system is going to have, so we need to support both ttyAMA0 and ttyS0. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm afraid I don't see what else I could do or where there is a problem in the kiwi initrd about this ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I never see any message on ttyS1 (Ctrl-Alt-3) tested with kernel: 3.12.28-2-default I don't think this is a kiwi bug ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
