Source: rootskel

Severity: important
User: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: sparc64

Hello!

I built updated installation images [1] for Debian Ports today and tested
the sparc64 image on our SPARC T5 in an LDOM.

Unfortunately, it seems that the recent changes to rootskel broke the
serial console on sparc64 in d-i. The kernel boots fine but d-i never
starts, the boot stops with:

steal-ctty: No such file or directory

My suspicion is that the support multiple consoles in parallel [2] introduced
this particular regression. I haven't done any debugging yet though as I'm
not sure where to start, I haven't touched the rootskel package before and
therefore would be interested in any pointers how to debug this.

Thanks,
Adrian
