It sounds like you've got two process groups or some such on /dev/tty1 and the
wrong one is binding first. (Where is "console" pointing to, and if you
redirect it somewhere else does the problem go away? Such as booting with
CONSOLE=/dev/ttyS0 or some such?)
P.S. This comment in init.c is just a hint that the code does not play well
with others, and is running with scissors on top of that:
/* Take full control of the log tty, and never close it.
* It's mine, all mine! Muhahahaha! */
(I remember untangling this mess a year ago in my lost init rewrite, but the
details would have to be reconstructed...)
