Reason ttyS0 is tried is that dmesg does mention it: console [ttyS0] enabled But udev does not create a device for it. The only remotely related devices are /dev/sclp_line0 and /dev/ttysclp0. As the installer should just be using /dev/console in my case, the solution seems to be to add a check that the console device actually exists in reopen-console (and probably log a warning if it does not). > - the program should not end in a loop This is probably unavoidable as it is just the "respawn" that keeps failing: + cat /var/run/console-device + exec /sbin/steal-ctty /dev/ttyS0 /sbin/debian-installer-startup steal-ctty: No such file or directory + -f /var/run/console-device ! + cat /var/run/console-device + exec /sbin/steal-ctty /dev/ttyS0 /sbin/debian-installer steal-ctty: No such file or directory + -f /var/run/console-device ! + cat /var/run/console-device + exec /sbin/steal-ctty /dev/ttyS0 /sbin/debian-installer steal-ctty: No such file or directory -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
