I have not use Grub with a serial console, but does it use the same stage ? You have a nice menu or just a prompt ? Do you see the Message with Grub loading ?

In fact I have differents configurations : a NFS root one, a normal boot which uses the internal linux on the PC104, and an autonomous one. The last one is only uses in special condition (not for dev, only lauch a internal developped program) and that's the one that take about 10 seconds to boot. In fact, it uses a compressed initrd which contains a linux kernel, a busybox (for shell and other commands), a few scripts and a program with needed library. It does not use all the rc scripts provided in a normal linux distribution, it just lauch busybox init/linuxrc script and a program for controlling a bot. djerem _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
