[Please reply to list!] Provided the bug I told you about is fixed try booting with: boot: live live-getty console=ttyS0,38400n8
If that works and you want to dispense with the live-getty you need to hack the code in the initramfs. This can be done in the live-helper chroot and the initramfs then regenerated. look in the chroot under /usr/share/live-initramfs (or simmilar) and grep for live-getty... You need to find where the kernel command line is parsed and make sure that the action taken for live-getty being on the command line is taken irrespetive of the commandline state... I personally don't know why live-getty has not become the default auto login method... but then I'm biased as I wrote it! Seriously though it does the same job as the current default but also has additional benefits. Anyway... if you look at the live-helper code and the live-initramfs code you will find it very powerfull! Goodluck PS: I thing the bug fix I refered you to earlier is going in "upstream" so probably will be in the next release of live-initramfs.
