May be you miss that the order for the kernel options from /boot/grub/menu.lst is important! You should use something like console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 because: The kernel can be configured to output messages to the serial port and to the attached monitor. However messages from init and syslog only appear on the last-listed console device Quoted from http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO.html#BUGS-MONITOR About the login problem: look at something like this in /etc/inittab # Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal) T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100 Regards, Daniele P. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
