Previously, plymouth incorrectly parsed "console" parameters that were set to "tty0" on the kernel command line. When the user had connected the serial port from another machine and rebooted the system, the boot log was not redirected to the serial console and the user could not view it as a consequence. A patch has been applied to address the issue so that users can now view the output of the boot log.

Previously, plymouth did not perform proper tty clean up on some consoles if more than one line contained the "console=" parameter. The terminal was locked as a consequence and the user was not able to log in from the serial console. With this update, plymouth is modified to correctly handle multiple lines containing "console=" and users are now able to log in as expected.
