Hello all,

We're facing a strange issue with serial console and inittab - 
a clean statefull installation works fine and we can rcons to the nodes 
after. 
Running our postscripts manually after installation one by one works OK 
and we can rcons to the nodes after that with no issues. 
However, when we run a full installation, after running our 
postbootscripts we loose the SOL (starting crond    [  OK  ]    is the 
last thing we see). 
Looking into inittab - we're missing the console line - 
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -h ttyS0 115200   (taken from other machine i 
have in my lab since i can't copy-paste from the actual machine) 

Adding this line manually solves the problem. 
Somewhere in the installation process the inittab get rewritten and we 
loose the SOL (only for the OS, hw works ok), we just wonder what could 
cause that? 
Any ideas? 

p.s installation works fine, including post scripts, looks like the only 
think broken is the console line in inittab. 

thx in advance.

Regards,
