Just to confirm that things are working otherwise, I copied over my getty from debian (util-linux) and that worked fine. I also got it to work with getty_ps from RHL 7.0, but you're retired this package... Just clearing out old bugs here - sorry for the delay in processing this one - it seems to have been "lost" . I've just retested this with mgetty-1.1.31-2 and 1.1.33-1 (mgetty is no longer "experimental"), with the mgetty.config entry: ' port ttyS0 direct y speed 57600 toggle-dtr n ' and with a null modem cable to another computer and the kernel-2.6.11 arguments 'console=ttyS0,57600 console=tty0', and the /etc/inittab line: 'S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0' . The console connection worked flawlessly and let me log-in (as root, when I had added ttyS0 to /etc/securettys). There is also now agetty(8), which along with mgetty and mingetty should be enough to replace getty_ps . So this bug is closed as CURRENTRELEASE, as it appears to be fixed with all current versions of mgetty. |
