Try setting a lower baud rate in Alpine’s /etc/inittab.

(and in the linux kernel command line)

That’s how I worked around the same issue.

so is there anything I could do to be able to use the console?

[I managed to install alpine linux, but only because I could
get ssh connection soon enough (and the console gave me the
necessary time before breaking). Now, with slackware I am
not so lucky...

It seems to be a problem with the console.
I still can ssh to the system, and it is
working.

alpine linux under vm? freezes

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

I tried to run alpine linux (alpine-virt-3.8.0-x86_64.iso)
under the OpenBSD (latest snapshot) virtual machine.

I was able to boot it, even to install it to an image.

I connect to the console with the 'vmctl console' command.
At various moments I am no longer able to write anything,
the alpine system as if freezes.

Has anybody encountered something similar?

Thanks for any comments.

Thanks
Ruda



PS.: I like OpenBSD but I seem to need some linux, too,
for various programs (Julia, J, Texmacs, reduce,
pressure sensitivity for a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet, ...)
