[16.0] Fix rungetty.sh to strip non-numeric suffix from console speed parameter#5436
Merged
Conversation
When console= kernel parameter includes format specifiers (e.g., console=ttyS0,115200n8), the script was passing the entire string "115200n8" to agetty. While agetty can parse this format, it's cleaner to extract only the numeric baud rate. Besides getty fails to start on ttyS* and it causes continuous process restart and extra CPU consumption Changes: - Extract and strip non-numeric suffix from speed parameter (e.g., "n8") - Ensure empty or invalid speed values default to 115200 This results in cleaner agetty invocations like: /sbin/agetty -a root -L 115200 ttyS0 vt100 instead of: /sbin/agetty -a root -L 115200n8 ttyS0 vt100 Signed-off-by: Mikhail Malyshev <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit 39e0fe6)
