Description Mark McLoughlin 2009-07-27 16:59:54 UTC 
dracut-0.7-2.fc12

Booting a dracut initrd with console=ttyS0 and then logging over the serial console, gives this for me:

  -bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
  -bash: no job control in this shell

This isn't happening with a mkinitrd created initrd; no idea what the problem is yet, haven't debugged it
Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2009-07-28 08:08:05 UTC 
well, bash would have to do what init normally does:

        /* get session leader */
        setsid();

        /* set controlling terminal */
        if (ioctl (0, TIOCSCTTY, 1))
                warn("failed to TIOCSCTTY");
Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2009-07-28 08:09:26 UTC 
maybe we should write a small helper application which does just this and rexecs the shell.
Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2009-09-15 13:59:15 UTC 
sry, won't fix this
Comment 4 Petr Lautrbach 2009-09-16 12:31:20 UTC 
it seems to be same problem as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519237

i'd suggest to close this as duplicate

#519237 is after we switch_root, so it's different.
