Package: sysvinit Version: 2.88dsf-22.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
since the upgrade to wheezy i had a problem with the messages that are shown during boot. During the boot messages are shown as usual on vt1 but then at some point late in the boot process these messages are cleared and then only the login prompt is shown on vt1 just like on vt2. I got a hint on debian-user that getty has had an api change. To retain the previously known behavior as it was in squeeze it is necessary to add the new parameter '--noclear' to '/etc/inittab'. Patch is attached. -- Regards, Thilo 4096R/0xC70B1A8F 721B 1BA0 095C 1ABA 3FC6 7C18 89A4 A2A0 C70B 1A8F
