Here is the mistake I made. The two lines serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 terminal --timeout=15 serial console MUST be used at the very begining of menu.lst configuration file. If it's used in wrong place like my example config file (see end of this email) it has no effect. 在 2007-01-27六的 01:26 +0800，Zhang Weiwu写道：
Hello. Maybe a stupid question because I only started trying to configure a serial terminal to access a headless SuSE 10.2 server.
I need to be able to select from grub boot menu from serial console, not going to the real host for this. I was following this guide (very detailed and nice written guide I think) https://secure-support.novell.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/584/3456486_f.SA...
I configured serial console by folling that guide, everything works except only one thing, the boot menu is still displayed on the SuSE server (not on my serial terminal). (After that everything is on serial line).
According to the guide adding these lines to menu.lst should work: serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 terminal --timeout=15 serial console
And I tripple checked I do have this in my menu.lst. I am going to dig into grub document for this, but drop a message on the list too in case someone happen to know if I have done it wrong. Thanks a lot in advance!
Here is my menu.lst
