Public bug reported:
Hi,
When running Groovy daily images on i3.metal instances a broken
/dev/console is created. The char device appears to be writable but
writing to it causes an Input/output error. This is breaking cloud-init,
as it tries to log to /dev/console, and is likely to break other
programs.
On Focal:
root@ip-172-31-24-163:~# ls -l /dev/console
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Sep 21 16:07 /dev/console
root@ip-172-31-24-163:~# echo x > /dev/console
root@ip-172-31-24-163:~#
On Groovy:
root@ip-172-31-20-184:~# ls -l /dev/console
crw--w---- 1 root tty 5, 1 Sep 21 16:03 /dev/console
root@ip-172-31-20-184:~# echo x > /dev/console
bash: echo: write error: Input/output error
The Groovy kernel log has a
[ 3.561696] fbcon: Taking over console
line in it, which is not present in the Focal kernel log
(5.4.0-1024-aws). Perhaps fbcon should be prevented from taking over
console?
