Just a note that the udev rules change from comment 6 seems to be necessary to reliably get an image booted under QEMU to bring up a getty on the serial console. What seems to happen without it is that udevd spends all its time running copies of 'readlink', and it doesn't get around to telling syst

Thanks for the followup. Closing the debian-installer part now. The work on the Debian side wrt. multiplexing the installer UI to mutiple consoles sounds interesting, but I don't think we should houd our breath for it -- I think this is going to be tricky given how different the capabilities of VT

gpiccoli, great finding! Indeed it seems debian-installer interprets console= arguments and prefers the *last* one: rootskel-1.115ubuntu1/src/sbin/reopen-console-linux: if [ -z "$console" ]; then # Locate the last enabled console present on the command line

That d-i behaviour agrees with how the kernel interprets those: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/serial-console.txt -- i. e. kernel messages appear on all "console="s, but the last one defines what /dev/console points to. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of U

I ran the test case for systemd on a 16.04.1 desktop live system with an USB ethernet device. I confirm that naming still works as intended, MAC naming can be disabled with the /dev/null symlink, and the readlink calls are gone. (Again, note that this was merely the side issue, not the main boot p

Note, there hasn't been any debian installer fix yet, as we don't even understand what's actually happening there. There has just been an SRU to systemd/udev to fix the "No such file or directory" error message in udev rules, but apparently that was not the actual problem. -- You received this bu

I don't actually know what BOOT_DEBUG does -- I've never seen it before, it does not appear anywhere in my yakkety system, and it's for sure not something the kernel, initramfs-tools, or systemd look at. My best guess is that this is a debian-installer specific debug flag. So from what I can tell,

If this screen output is for a case when the installer *did* show up, I don't think it's going to tell us much about where things have hung in the case that it *didn't* show up. If there's a particular invocation of udev that lets you reproduce the problem, I suggest sticking with that, and captur

I've thought about this some more, and while the /bin/readlink /usr/bin/readlink in busybox is a bug, fixing this is definitely not going to fix the problem in the installer. In the installer, /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules will never exist since this is an admin override; so the readli

Examining the initrd shows that readlink is provided as /usr/bin/readlink -> /bin/busybox, not as /bin/readlink where systemd expects it (and where it's shipped on an installed system). This is a bug in debian-installer's construction of that image - though gee it would be nice if systemd didn't r
