For the statefull installation, the console in the /etc/inittab should be configured by the kernel parameters. Show it from /proc/cmdline. If removing the postbootscripts will ignore this issue, you need to look into the postbootscripts to see what happens in it.

Running our postscripts manually after installation one by one works OK and we can rcons to the nodes after that with no issues. However, when we run a full installation, after running our postbootscripts we loose the SOL (starting crond [ OK ] is the last thing we see). Looking into inittab - we're missing the console line - co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -h ttyS0 115200 (taken from other machine i have in my lab since i can't copy-paste from the actual machine) Adding this line manually solves the problem. Somewhere in the installation process the inittab get rewritten and we loose the SOL (only for the OS, hw works ok), we just wonder what could cause that? Any ideas? p.s installation works fine, including post scripts, looks like the only think broken is the console line in inittab. thx in advance.
