Right now, the system console goes to the virtual tty, not to the serial port. For openstack, it's desirable for this to be the other way around, so that the API calls which get the serial console give useful information rather than just initial boot output. This change makes that happen: diff --git a/fedora-cloud-base.ks b/fedora-cloud-base.ks index 5e847e2..756b097 100644 --- a/fedora-cloud-base.ks +++ b/fedora-cloud-base.ks @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ rootpw --lock --iscrypted locked firewall --disabled -bootloader --timeout=1 --append="console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0" extlinux +bootloader --timeout=1 --append="console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200n8" extlinux network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on services --enabled=network,sshd,rsyslog,cloud-init,cloud-init-local,cloud-config,cloud-final
I've tested this by editing the nightly F20 koji build with guestfish, and it works as desired with no bad effects. Also note that this _only_ affects environments which are booting with extlinux; Amazon EC2 uses pvgrub and therefore a different boot configuration.
Asking permission to make this as a last-minute change. Sorry for being slow/late with this.
Discussed in 2013-12-11 Blocker Review Meeting [1]. Voted as an AcceptedFreezeException. This improves situation for cloud deployments and presents no risk to other products. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-12-11/
Matt can you tell me when your changes are all in the f20 branch? (I suspect they are already as I just saw a commit, but want to make sure before I start up the new spin-kickstarts build.)
Nevermind, Adam did a cherry-pick and this should be ready for the next s-k build.
