My particular fix for this was just to change inittab to not open a getty on tty1. The messages will never be cleared as /etc/issue is never invoked there, and if I set console=tty1 in grub, and maybe tell syslog to dump there as well, it's a nice centralised point for any errors. I'm mostly working in X, anyway, so loss of one getty isn't a huge sacrifice. ~celti _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
