Ognyan, Can you please post a a process list of the getty processes you see in the Amazon hvm ?
I am not aware of all the modifications made to the Debian AWS but according to http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html: Two VTs are handled specially by the auto-spawning logic: firstly tty1 gets special treatment: if we boot into graphical mode the display manager takes possession of this VT. If we boot into multi-user (text) mode a getty is started on it -- unconditionally, without any on-demand logic[2]. My understanding of that applied to Xen virtualization platform that Amazon uses, is that systemd will *always* start a getty on the default system console, which for Xen will be /dev/hvc0 instead of /dev/tty1 Actually you *want* to have this one getty started, as this is where your rescue console will be. Now if you have more than one getty started, then there is indeed room for improvement. Emmanuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
