Comment 9 for bug 940025

All,

I don't think the issue is directly related to PM, but when we released the source, PM functionally was limited.
Since I'm not able to recreate, I want to rule out any possible relation, even the slightest chance, regardless for now we really would like everyone to run without PM ( i.e. PM disabled).

Thanks,
Seif

This certainly looks like a userspace issue to me - I wouldn't expect power management to affect this (unless Seif has a reason to believe otherwise). From what I can tell, it looks like plymouthd maybe prompting for a password on tty7 instead of ttyS0. What I don't understand is why this would happen on armadaxp and not on x86. A plymouth expert might be helpful here.
