Overview
Some Debian 13 installations repeatedly attempt to start a serial console (ttyS0) even on systems where no physical or virtual serial device exists.
This can result in continuous log noise similar to:
serial-getty@ttyS0.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
serial-getty@ttyS0.service: Scheduled restart job
EDIS Global handling
EDIS Global automatically disables the unnecessary serial getty service during fresh Debian 13 installations to avoid excessive logging and unnecessary service restarts.
Existing systems
If you already have a running Debian 13 system affected by this issue, you can silence the logging noise with the following commands:
systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyS0.service
systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyS0.service
Optional verification
You can verify the service status with:
systemctl status serial-getty@ttyS0.service
