Bug Description
Hello,
When our servers boot, We can't login because of spurious “enter”.
We have this problem on virtual and physical machines since:
* kernel linux-image-
* kernel linux-image-
To reproduce:
1. start an ubuntu server with the specific kernel
2. install GPM
3. on a console
1. type the user name “root”
2. hit “enter”
3. wait few seconds => spurious “Enter” are send to the console
4. Stop gpm.service
5. retry to login on a console => no problem
lsb_release -a

I have the exact same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 (vmlinuz- 4.4.0-142- generic) .
I will try to turn off GPM and see how my console functions without it.
What a surprise though! Not being able to log in the simplest console. Not something I've seen in ages...
