Dear all, I'm currently trying to configure a SuSE 10.3 machine to use a serial console. I found a link on Novell's website explaining how to configure a serial console on SLES, but I've had to tweak a few steps and I still can't quite get things to work how I imagined they would. For what it's worth, the serial console runs at 9600. In /boot/grub/menu.lst, I added the two extra parameters to the first entry, it now looks like this: title openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.17-0.1 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.17-0.1-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST340014A_5JXMH6N6-part2 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.17-0.1-default I've modified /etc/inittab and uncommented this line: cons:12345:respawn:/sbin/smart_agetty -L 9600 console and also added 'console' to /etc/securetty. When I reboot I can see output and once the system's up I can log in over the serial console. So far so good. However, the original instructions talk about adding these lines to /boot/grub/menu.lst: serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 terminal --timeout=15 serial console and commenting out the 'gfxmenu' entry. When I do this and reboot I get a 'Press any key to continue' scrolling up the screen (on the serial console), when I do press a key I DON'T see the grub menu, but once the timeout hits and the default entry starts to boot, I see the output on the serial console. It would be really great to see the grub menu through the serial console too. How do I do this?
