Bug 120031 – Garbage printed to console during boot--suspend2 activation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Jan Minar 2006-01-23 02:46:15 UTC]

During the bootstrap, this is printed to the console:

        \033[32;1m>>\033[1m Activating suspend2 resume...

 -- not pretty.  The problem is a missing `-e' parameter to echo in the /linuxrc script.  The patch follows.   But IIRC, this section is commented in the distribution version of the script, so the patch won't apply as-is (but it's trivial anyway.

I've added the change into CVS, so it'll appear in the next genkernel version.

This is in genkernel 3.3.11_pre5 which is now in the tree.
