Yes this is not important.  This was caused by a redirection of
STDIN/STDERR/STDOUT to a fifo file and some script probably rpm causing
a transition to consoletype, and consoletype not being allowed to talk
to the terminal.  the kernel would just close the open file descriptor
and consoletype would work properly.
