Well, I'm using some custom scripts, but now I reduced the configuration to try to use a script that does not exists to see if the problem still happened so it could be easier to reproduce. The pxe file for the machine would be like this: default Clonezilla label Clonezilla kernel /clonezilla/vmlinuz append initrd=/clonezilla/initrd.img boot=live live-getty console=ttyS0,115200n8 union=aufs noswap noprompt nosplash live-netdev="eth1" fetch=tftp://<SERVER_IP>/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs ocs_live_keymap="NONE" ocs_live_batch="yes" ocs_lang="en_US.UTF-8" ocs_live_run="/blablablabla" and what happens when booting is the following. VGA starts displaying the pxe boot, "Decompressing Linux..." decompressing the initrd, and the last lines are "Ready Probing EDD (...) ok" It stops there, and then, text starts coming out through ttyS0 instead. squashfs is decompressed, init starts, I can see that it tries to set up eth0 through dhcp because I see some "DHCPDISCOVER..." lines until it times out. Then I think it sets up eth1 very fast and then the problem starts. I think it is when the ocs scripts begin executing. The VGA changes from the typical console text to another font, probably a framebuffer, and some scripts begin executing both in tty1 and ttyS0 obviously they fail inmediately because there is no blablablabla script, but I get the prompt to select what to do next in both terminals and they are different processes. If I type "tty" one gives /dev/tty1 and the other /dev/ttyS0. I would expect that everything happens in ttyS0 if I specified console=ttyS0 on the command line, or to have an option to do that. Is it possible? I would expect in that case to keep tty1 blocked or in a login prompt. >> I hope I had explained the problem clearly. Is there a way to avoid >> this?
