Description floyd smith 2010-08-23 14:38:43 UTC

Description of problem:
FC 13 /etc/sysconfig/init (line ACTIVE_CONSOLES=) does not support changing
number of consoles to above 9.
That is, 1he max can not be say 10. 11 or 12 (like [1-11], for example).
In FC 12, the event.d dir allowed for expanding the default number of 6 by
creating mingetty text files tty9, 10, 11 and even 12 (but tty 12 could not
used for root and tty7 is not created for it is reseved for "X" windows). I
guest the new /etc/sysconfig/init method should allow a max up to 11 leaving
12 for "X".

You can use plain list of all consoles or some shell expansion:

ACTIVE_CONSOLE="/dev/tty1 /dev/tty2 /dev/tty3 /dev/tty4 /dev/tty5 /dev/tty6 /dev/tty7 /dev/tty8 /dev/tty9 /dev/tty10 /dev/tty11"

ACTIVE_CONSOLE="/dev/tty[1-9] /dev/tty10 /dev/tty11"
