Follow-up Comment #1, bug #51712 (project grub): Judging from the documentation I can find, all IPMI serial-over-LAN does is redirect serial port traffic to a network connection. This functionality doesn't seem include capturing writes to video memory, whether directly or via BIOS calls: the OS/bootloader has to be specifically configured to actually use the virtual serial port instead of the screen and keyboard. I figure this is true of DOS as well.
Does putting ctty com3 in AUTOEXEC.BAT help? If yes, this doesn't look like a problem with GRUB. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51712> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
