could you integrate a config switch for enable/disable this feature?

You can unbind the console from the framebuffer:

echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind

but I do like the console
Especially during the autorestore / autoinstall phase, it's good to see what is going on.

pieterg, of course any coder would like the console. But the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) of this feature is zero. So a way to disable it on boot is really required.

I'd try adding:

echo "0" > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind

to a startup script, either add it to an existing script or create it's own.

Google SysVinit for an overview of how they work.

Hello,

please disable die consoleoutput on startup! It remembers me on good old buggy msdos times 20 years ago. I think it is usefull for about max. 3-5% of freaky users. Think about this, please! Thank you.
