Bug Description

Got this error today when powering off a beagle xM running the latest headless image. It didn't seem to prevent the system from halting, though, as you can see.

That was on a Beagle xM A2. Image generated with hwpack_linaro-omap3_20101108-2_armel_supported.tar.gz and linaro-m-headless-tar-20101108-2.tar.gz

I see this exact same message with the Nov 08 Headless build on a Rev A2 XM beagle.

Is this something we should be worrying about or is it just a bug we need to fix later?

Worst case, it results in a couple more messages spit to the console at
shutdown. I don't think this is anything we need to worry about fixing
right now. For 11.05, we can fix it with a 'stop on runlevel [!2345]' in
the upstart job, to match /etc/init/tty1.conf.

I fixed this in linaro-overlay yesterday as I was seeing the error on shutdown myself; I also mailed upstart-devel@ on the suggestion of Steve as he thought there was an upstart bug here too, but the message didn't pass moderation yet.

linaro-overlay (1105.1) natty; urgency=low

  * etc/init/openvt.conf: stop on runlevel [!2345] as to avoid an error
    message when openvt is respawned during shutdown.
  * etc/init/auto-serial-console.conf: just exec /bin/auto-serial-console, not
    /bin/sh /bin/auto-serial-console as it's already a +x shell script with
    proper shebang.
