Hi, it might kill the system on some setups where people specify more serial (or similarly slow consoles). Output to some console is so slow that the system does nothing else than writing to the consoles. What might work as the first step to check it out is adding a flag to the console= option which would mark a console as a /dev/console device too and multiplex only those specified by the user. Then let's see how it goes with userspace logging out in the wild... thanks, -- js suse labs
