I actually found that leaving the id as suggested in the comment (T0) makes the serial console not working at all on some of our systems, where the serial console is set up using the VSP (virtual serial port) feature on a HP blade system.
Modifiying the id to S0, so: S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100 restores the correct functionality. Moreover, this setup is consistent with examples in man 5 inittab "# Runlevel 2,3: getty on virtual consoles # Runlevel 3: getty on terminal (ttyS0) and modem (ttyS1) 1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty1 VC linux 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty2 VC linux 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty3 VC linux 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty4 VC linux S0:3:respawn:/sbin/getty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt320 S1:3:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -D ttyS1" cheers, rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
