finish-install (2.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Add upstart support for hvc/hvsi consoles.
* Test for /proc/device-tree/chosen/linux,stdout-path rather than the
non-existent /proc/device-tree/options/chosen/linux,stdout-path.
* Map /spider/serial to hvc0 (somewhat experimentally, but it seems to
work here ...).

finish-install (2.12) unstable; urgency=low
* 90console: add support for setting up a virtualized console via onboard
service processor (hvsi/hvc). Closes: #420820.
Many thanks to Rolf Brudeseth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for providing the needed
info, for testing and for his patience.

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: finish-install
Hypervisor virtual consoles (hvc/hvsi) aren't handled correctly by the
installer, because debian-installer's stdin (used to find the type of
console in use) is just /dev/console in this case. The result of this is
that installs complete but effectively fail to boot because no getty is
started on the proper console.
- This is fixed in Debian, and the fix including adjustment for Upstart
- will be synced into hardy shortly. A patch suitable for gutsy-proposed
- is in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/finish-
- install/+bug/174689/comments/2.
+ This is fixed in finish-install 2.14 in Debian and hardy. A patch
+ suitable for gutsy-proposed is in

TEST CASE:
This is hardware-specific. To reproduce, install on any system with a
suitable console. These are largely only available on certain specialised
powerpc systems.
The proposed changes only take effect on suitable hardware, and come
after the normal console setup path so cannot break it. I think there is
very little potential for regressions except on hardware with this type
of console (which is already broken).
