Hello there, I'm afraid this is my fault. I supplied a patch to make grub-installer try to do the right thing in bug http://bugs.debian.org/224641
However the code added there assumes a FULL serial port definition on the kernel command line. eg: for the example Vagrant gives in this bug report "console=ttyS0,38400n8" _should_ work (i tested this when writing the patch) while the shorter "console=ttyS0,38400" will not (and was not tested - opps!). Also it is preferable to add the "console=" argument after the "--" argument that way it will be taken as a user supplied argument that should be added to the "#kopt=" line in the grub.conf Perhaps this should be included in the release notes for Etch? For Lenny the code should parse the "console=" parameter more properly! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
