Issue number:
N/A
Description of changes:
The login package is intended to help debug failures that occur early in boot, but by default the getty services are not started until
multi-user.target
, which is only activated if everything works as expected.Start the
getty.target
as part ofpreconfigured.target
so that the login prompt will be available even if there are problems with networking or filesystem mounts.Testing done:
Modified an
aws-dev
build to set the default network interface to a non-existent device. Logged in and was able to check system logs even though the system eventually failed to boot:Terms of contribution:
