The error during boot up while switching from init S to M showed INIT: open(/dev/console): Input/output error Reverting this commit solves the problem. This is 100% repeatable on a "real" machine, but does not show up on kvm or vmware guest console. commit b50989dc444599c8b21edc23536fc305f4e9b7d5 Author: Alan Cox Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:22 2009 -0700 tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously We want to be able to sleep in the destructor for USB at least. It isn't a hot path so just pushing it to a work queue doesn't really cause any difficulty.
