Hi guys,
as a show of hands, can we get a list of :
1) boards we have at the moment
Cubieboard 2
I've got a bunch of Cubietrucks,
Interesting. Do you have Redsleeve working on any of them? I have
built a boot SDcard for my Cubieboard2 based on a F19 kernel and stuff
and am up to being able to login on the serial console.
But I do not get any login on the video monitor. Mouse moves and
typing
is echoed. But no login prompt.
This has been solved with <alt-F2>. Now why that is needed...
Because some bright-spark at RH decided it would be a great idea to
clobber the boot progress log on the console. I know the plymouth boot
animation does that as well, but if that's the attitude they are taking
they might as well just pipe it all to /dev/null for all the usefulness.
For me that wasn't acceptable, so getty on the first terminal is
disabled.
If you want it back, make sure this line:
ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-5]
is set to include terminal one. By default it starts at 2. This will
need to be set in /etc/sysconfig/init and /etc/init/start-ttys.conf.
I am good with looking at /var/log/messages to get this info. If the
boot does not get to login, then there will be the messages to read anyway.
Service load failures in most cases don't result in anything indicative
being written to /var/log/messages. It is also not just about not
getting to the login prompt. The service might just print "FAILED" in
big red letters when it tries to start up, which will get cleared as
soon as the getty loads.
On EL5 and earlier you could set --noclear option on the getting for the
first VT, but EL6 changed this due to upstart working differently to
SysVInit so you can no longer easily toggle it just on the first VT.
If it bothers you it's a one-liner change and it is documented on the
wiki. There are only a few lines on the RootFS wiki page so it's not
like it's burried in an obscure paragraph on a long page.
