This has nothing to do with grub. Make sure that your kernel is compiled with the following options CONFIG_SERIAL=y CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
Then you can use your serial port as the console. Hari From: "Svein E. Seldal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Serial console Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 13:14:24 +0200 Hi all, I have a server, Celeron 266 running RedHat 7.2. The grub-version used is the original rh72 installation; grub-0.90-11. I'm trying to run everything from the serialport because I normally dont have a monitor nor a keyboard. To enable the serialport, I have added the following to /etc/grub.conf: serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 terminal --timeout=5 serial console When I try it out, I get first a "Press any key." message on both VGA and the serialport. When I press a key on the serial console, the input focus is given to the serial console, and I can select the appropriate boot-image using the up and down arrows on the serial terminal. However, the terminal output (i.e. the menus and console) is sent to the VGA screen instead of the serial console. IMHO this is not good, because it would require me to have a VGA monitor anyhow. Can I route the output to the serial console instead, making it possible for me to see what selection I'm making? Regards, Svein E.
