Package: grub-pc Version: 1.99-27 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream With delight I noticed that grub2 now accepts multiple terminals for terminal_input and terminal_output and mirrors the menu on all in real-time. This now let's me put the Grub menu on both, the serial port and the local console.
Grub then starts the Linux kernel (most of the time anyway) and passes the following parameters (typically) to the kernel: … console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400n8 Unfortunately, the Linux kernel cannot output everything to two consoles and the above will have all information from /sbin/init and /etc/init.d/rc reach only the serial port. In most cases this is what I want, but when I am sitting at the console itself, this isn't ideal. What would be ideal is if Grub only appended the above kernel parameter unless I interacted with the Grub menu over the console. If I do that, then it should either switch the two console= parameters, or just leave it off entirely. I have looked everywhere, but I don't think this is possible. It would be really nice, however, if Grub could learn how to do that.
