Description Felix Miata 2011-10-19 18:37:09 UTC 
To reproduce:
1-configure 12.1B1 to boot runlevel 3 using sysvinit: init=/sbin/init 3 on grub kernel line
2-'zypper rm splash & bootsplash' if they were not already removed
3-set splash=verbose on cmdline to ensure no GUI during init processing
4-zypper dup to 12.1RC1
5-reboot

Actual behavior:
1-tty1 messaging pauses for several minutes after displaying 'r8169 0000:03:00.0: eth0: link up', quickly displays a few more messages, clears display, displays small remainder of init messages mixed with login prompt

Expected behavior:
1-tty1 is not cleared during latter stages of init processing
2-tty1 login prompt is followed by nothing unless and until actually logging in on tty1
Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2011-10-25 12:43:54 UTC 
This is not sysvinit!

IMHO this is the problem of using agetty witout --noclear option on tty1
and a duplicate of bug #721660
Comment 2 Felix Miata 2011-10-25 14:09:42 UTC 
I agree.
