As suggested in 543506, the following does appear to work. Have had to do this on 20 machines destined for site, as we're under some pressure to have them delivered:
for file in /etc/init/*.conf; do sed -i 's/^console output/\#console output/' $file; done sed -i 's/start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo/start on filesystem and started rsyslog and net-device-up IFACE=lo/' /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf sed -i 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init='\''\/sbin\/init --verbose'\''"/' /etc/default/grub update-grub Numerous reboots seem to show that it's working ok; prior to this we would end up with an undefined run level as reported by the 'runlevel' command, and our rc2 scripts wouldn't execute. -- init: Failed to spawn rc-sysinit main process: unable to open console: Input/output error. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/587079 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
