As I don't have the hardware and it works on the NB-305 and the Blacksand, I'm reassigning to Alex who has hardware. I'll help as I can, but someone with the hardware needs to own it.

Mihai will help with this.
Comment 3 Mihai Lindner 2013-03-25 10:28:39 UTC 
At the time X starts /dev/tty0 does not exist as /dev/* is not populated by udev, as the udev daemon starts after X attempts to start.

The cause might be the way the init scripts are added to RC:
rc5.d/S09xserver-nodm
rc5.d/S20udev

It seems that udev is update-rc.d -ed with defaults, instead of:
meta/recipes-core/udev/udev.inc:53:INITSCRIPT_PARAMS_udev = "start 03 S ."
Comment 4 Darren Hart 2013-03-27 17:11:19 UTC 
If that is the problem, then this is not a BSP bug, but a broader udev/X/init issue.

Hi Darren,
Who can we address this issue?

Thanks,
Alex.

Fix sent to oe-core, "update-rc.d: correctly look up the initscript params with overrides".

Fixed in oe-core rev b016bc9aaabc90fe4dc98af8c5e73dfcb4526ef4.
