Can you give me an example of what changes you would have to make (specifically) to the config file buildiso uses (or the --kopts) to make your configuration work? Maybe then some idea will jump out at me. I'm not sure if you just need a kernel argument applied to certain systems or the kernel argument changes in different ways between profiles/systems/etc for your serial console setup. --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
