Re: [Astlinux-devel] Astlinux on Azure

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Michael,

Hmmm, I have an issue with linode's lish as well, no ttyS0 getty, and manually trying to start it ...

linode ~ # /sbin/getty -L 19200 /dev/ttyS0 xterm-color
getty: setsid: Operation not permitted

Ok, this could be related to the change from kernel unionfs to FUSE unionfs in AstLinux 1.3.10 .  It looks like any changes to /etc/inittab via FUSE unionfs are setup after "/sbin/init" which is called via the initrd /linuxrc script.

Let me do some testing and think about how to fix this.  Hopefully.

Lonnie
