Subject: Re: [PATCH 3.11 085/121] tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute
Hi,
This broke plymouth, i think. Plymouth used the herustic:
"/sys/class/tty/console/active contains something other than tty0" to
mean "probably has serial consoles, force verbose messages instead of
a splash screen". Now on a normal system it contains tty1.
I pushed a commit to plymouth that gets it working again, but it could
cause compatiblity concerns if new kernels are pushed to old releases.
