Unless console=ttyS0,115200,115200 happens to be safe, but I don't know that I would suggest relying on that. What about console=tty0,115200? I think adding ,115200 is a bad idea trying to paper over a mis-configured u-boot env. Better say no and let people fix their config. Stefan

Bug#730059: busybox-syslogd conflicts with systemd

2013-11-20 Thread Stefan Monnier
Package: busybox-syslogd Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, As stated in the subject, systemd and busybox-syslogd are in conflict (via klogd, IIUC). I'm not completely uptodate on systemd, but AFAIK it does not provide syslogd functionality, so I'd like to keep running busybox-syslogd alongside

Bug#606280: busybox-syslogd: /etc/init.d/busybox-klogd spews garbage on stderr

2010-12-07 Thread Stefan Monnier
Package: busybox-syslogd Severity: minor The `running' shell function in this script (also used in /etc/init.d/busybox-syslogd) suffers from a minor race-condition that causes it to emit irrelevant messages on stderr: the /proc/[1-9]*/stat glob is expanded first and then passed to `cut' which

for much. But I am opposed to the removal of lilo. Both grub-legacy and grub-pc use sectors on the hard disk outside of the master boot record (cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1). In other words they use cylinder 0, head 0, sector 2 and possibly subsequent sectors on cylinder 0 head 0. Really?

Bug#518399: installation-reports: / on LVM incorrectly accepted without a /boot

2009-03-05 Thread Stefan Monnier
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal [ Sorry to report this so late, but I was just reminded of this problem and noticed I had failed to report it at the time. ] When I installed Debian testing on my PowerBook G4 12, I was a bit too optimistic about yaboot and thought that the kernel

It's very unlikely that we'll support that anytime soon. Why not? All it requires is the addition of `lynx' on the netinst images. Of course, space is relevant, so maybe the answer is use another image. Still, I think lynx would make for a very pleasant addition, since it could also be used to

2007-03-06 Thread Stefan Monnier
Package: debian-installer Severity: normal I recently installed Debian from a netinst CD onto a laptop. The installation overall went fairly smoothly, except that I was not initially able to access the network: the ethernet card was correctly recognized and configured, but my network connection
