From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> To: kbd@lists.altlinux.org Subject: [kbd] unicode_start and hvc consoles Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 13:53:16 -0400 Message-ID: <20110405175316.GA2464@zod.rchland.ibm.com> (raw) Hi, While trying to run unicode_start on a POWER machine, we ran into the following error: [root@elm17d211 ~]# tty /dev/hvc0 [root@elm17d211 ~]# unicode_start unicode_start skipped on /dev/hvc0 [root@elm17d211 ~]# It seems the unicode_start script checks for a valid tty device by looking for /dev/console, /dev/vc*, or /dev/tty*. On POWER machines, the console device is often provided by /dev/hvc0. I believe that can also be true on Xen guests and in some cases ARM installations today as well. Do you know of a valid reason the /dev/hvc0 would be excluded, or is this simple a case of someone not reporting the issue as of yet. I would appreciate any thoughts you have. Please CC me on reply. josh
