Hi Eric! Aha, this is great news! I did as you said and enabled the ttyE0 in /etc/ttys, I didn't disable console in /etc/ttys since I still want the messages to show up on ttyE0. This made me able to use ttyE0, and login. As you pointed out already I do actually need to set console to off in /etc/ttys to stop getty opening a login: promt in xconsole. However this makes the messages only show up in xconsole, not on ttyE0, this is not the behaviour I want, constty didn't work either.
I guess I'm a bit confused about all of this. But I still would like the messages sent to /dev/console to show up on ttyE0. Not just in the xconsole. Is there a way to do this?
