I'm seeing some wierdness with serial consoles and bootin pxegrub from b78.
Are there any known issues with this build?
Specifically, I'm using
serial --unit-0 --speed=115200
and I've tried both:
terminal --timeout=5 console serial
and
terminal --timeout=5 serial console
The first possibl issue is the timeout. The 5 means 5 seconds right? In
my expeience, it does cause the 'press any key' message to only print 5
times, but it seems to take 20+ seconds to print those 5 messages out.
The second issue I've noticed is that if I fail to press a key to pick a
console within the timeout, then grub hangs. The docs imply that it
should defualt to the first console in the list, but for me it just goes
off into la la land.
The third thing I've noticed is, even with the following entries in the
menu.lst:
title Solaris NVb78 JumpStart
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_NVb78/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix - install
-B console=ttya,t
tya-mode='115200,8,n,1,-',install_config=172.30.172.20:/export/Install,sysid_config=172.30
.172.20:/export/Install/Config/SysIDCfg/Default,install_media=172.30.172.20:/export/Solari
s/sNV/b78_x
module /I86PC.Solaris_NVb78/x86.miniroot
When I select this entry, I see .'s while the grub loads the kernel
through tftp, but once the .'s stop, I don't see any output from the
kernel. Snoop does show NFS traffic beginning, but that stops eventually
too right after a few rpc.bootparams (getfile 'ns' I beleive) calls.
Any of this sound familiar? or am I missing something stupud?
