Binary package hint: finish-install
Hypervisor virtual consoles (hvc/hvsi) aren't handled correctly by the installer, because debian-installer's stdin (used to find the type of console in use) is just /dev/console in this case. The result of this is that installs complete but effectively fail to boot because no getty is started on the proper console.
This is fixed in Debian; I am in the process of adjusting the fix for Upstart and preparing an SRU in order that this class of systems will be installable with Ubuntu 7.10. |

This is hardware-specific. To reproduce, install on any system with a suitable console. These are largely only available on certain specialised powerpc systems.
The proposed changes only take effect on suitable hardware, and come after the normal console setup path so cannot break it. I think there is very little potential for regressions except on hardware with this type of console (which is already broken). |
