Why do I not get a console with systemd?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm trying to get a login prompt on an embedded system using Debian and systemd. The system is connected via a physical serial console to a host PC. If I start the kernel with the cmdline parameters console=ttyS5,115200 console=tty1 systemd.journald.forward_to_console=1 I do see all the kernel messages from /dev/kmsg and systemd logs, but I never see a login prompt. If I omit console=tty1 the kernel log is still beeing printed, but the systemd logs appear with a 30 seconds timeout for each line.
What's the problem here? The same root file system works just fine for a similar embedded system.

You say it's an embedded system. Is it an x86 system or something else? The namettyS5would indicate that there are 5 other serial ports (ttyS0..ttyS4). In a regular x86 system, only up to four classic 8250-compatible serial ports are expected by default; have you made any kernel configuration changes? What is the output ofsetserial -g /dev/ttyS*? If the serial port is not 8250-compatible, is the appropriate hardware support built into the kernel?

You say "If I omit console=tty1 the kernel log is still beeing printed, but the systemd logs appear with a 30 seconds timeout for each line." But do you get a console prompt that way? The 30s delay, is it really for each line? Or does it look like the lines are "batched" together, so you get multiple lines at once every so often?
