Although I completely agree that's the kernel could've automatically chosen the working /dev/console "backend", and that would be the best fix, this won't be fixed soon. Right now users without serial port have unexplicable hang that is pretty hard to debug.
Having initramfs init script report broken /dev/console would help this situation tremendously, and the fix is very easy: just add print "$@" || echo "/dev/console appears broken" to _log_msg, and users will at least know the source of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573095 Title: Cloud images fail to boot when a serial port is not available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1573095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
