No luck... I wonder if I could be missing something else... I've not seen one, but is there a howto- on this? Can anyone outline the steps necessary to set this up from scratch? - Herman Mike Kenzie wrote:
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.

Has anyone gotten serial consoles to work with SuSE? I am 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.
