That is, the happy face boot settings are not carried through to the installed system. This is slightly different than the case where console redirection isn't set up correctly at install time unless you manually specify "console=ttya" on the grub line. Am I correct? If so, I think we want to atleast consider providing a grub menu choice for serial console that adds "console=ttya" automatically. Frank, thoughts? Alok
