I'm trying to setup a serial console on a supermicro server and have run into a bit of a problem with the console login.
It's the SOL port, which defaults to com3 on recent supermicro systems. I was able to install off the serial port by specifying "console=ttyc,ttyc-mode=115200,8,n,1,-" to grub, and that worked fine. I also used the eeprom command to set the same variables for booting the installed OS. The OS boots fine, and I see the "SunOS Release 5.11 Version omnios-b281e50 64-bit" banner, and as I have verbose booting enabled, all of the services starting, until "[ system/console-login:default starting (Console login) ]", at which point the console freezes. Logging into the system remotely, "echo foo > /dev/console" results in nothing. I tried disabling svc:/system/console-login:default, at which point the system booted, and complained: Requesting System Maintenance Mode (See /lib/svc/share/README for more information.) Console login service(s) cannot run in the middle of the services starting. After the box booted, logging in remotely and running "echo foo > /dev/console" resulted in "foo" showing up on the serial console. The console showed: Enter user name for system maintenance (control-d to bypass): If I typed the root username/password, the console logged me in and worked fine. But when I then enabled system/console-login:default, it printed "[ system/console-login:default starting (Console login) ]" and the console wedged. Any ideas why the console login process is wedging up the serial console? Thanks... ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
