sysvinit-inittab: fix hang issue of series consoles check

2012-09-26T13:53:24+00:00

The kernel boot process hangs when /proc/consoles doesn't exists, therefore
check the existence of /proc/consoles before executing pkg_postinst script.

Following is the log when /proc/consoles doesn't exist:
        Running postinst /etc/rpm-postinsts/102...
        cat: /proc/consoles: No such file or directory
        cat: /proc/consoles: No such file or directory
        cat: /proc/consoles: No such file or directory

sysvinit-inittab_2.88dsf.bb: only run serial checks at boot if we have items to check

2012-09-12T13:44:54+00:00

Right now, we delay running the serial console checks to we boot up. This causes
issues for read only file systems. So, if have not configured any serial ports to
check via SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK we can skip the check at boot. This fixes any
issues with read only file systems and ipk packaging.

sysvinit-inittab_2.88dsf.bb: Allow multiple serial port consoles to be defined

2012-07-16T15:36:57+00:00

Set SERIAL_CONSOLES if you want to define multiple serial consoles, also if
you need to check for the presence of the serial consoles you can also define
SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK to determine if these are present when you boot. This
will prevent error message that pop up when the serial port is not present.

SERIAL_CONSOLES = "115200;ttyS0 115200;ttyS1 115200;ttyEHV0"
SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK = "${SERIAL_CONSOLES}"

The above lines in machine.conf or elsewhere will have the effect of having
two serial consoles and removing any that are not present at boot

Introduce new SERIAL_CONSOLES to add multiple consoles for your MACHINE

2011-11-10T11:35:31+00:00

Just define additional serial consoles like so:

SERIAL_CONSOLES="115200;ttyS0 115200;ttyS1 ... 115200;ttySN"

Also be sure to remove SERIAL_CONSOLE (lacking the S) from your
machine as they can conflict.

sysvinit: Change ${PN} to ${BPN} in file names

2011-08-19T16:05:51+00:00

Some files in sysvinit are named with ${PN}. In multilib case, ${PN}
will be prefixed with "lib32-" or "lib64-". Use ${BPN} instead.
