Has anyone gotten serial consoles to work with SuSE? I am
I have got them to work. It takes a little tweaking. I often get the respawing too fast message. I run it through strace and it connects. I can then see where the trouble lies. I use S0:123:respond:/sbin/agetty -mL 19200,9600,2400 ttyS0 As a test to see if the port is open try echo junk > /dev/ttyS0 or the port of your choice you should see "junk" on the terminal screen if there is nothing then the ports are not connected, if you see stuff but not "junk" then the comm settings are off. Check the baud and parity. ----- Original Message ----- From: Herman Knief <herman@knief.net> To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 11:33 AM Subject: [SLE] Serial Console... trying to use a
Livingston PM-25 to hook up a bunch of systems, but can't seem to get it to work.
Tried agetty, mgetty, etc. and no luck. I have gotten the box to spew boot messages to the serial port, but the getty doesn't respawn to offer the login when it's done.
Is there something else I need to do, other than setup the inittab? - And yes, serial console support is compiled into the kernel.
