there are 2 settings, one for pxe/syslinux[1] and the other for the kernel. for the former (assuming ttyS1 at 115200), the first line of our tftp'd pxelinux.cfg file reads: serial 1 115200 0 and for the kernel (assuming same tty) we add "console=ttyS1,115200n8" to the "append" line. see attached for a working (edited) example. hth, andy 1. http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=SYSLINUX#SERIAL_port_.5Bbaudrate_.5Bflowcontrol.5D.5D -- andrew bezella <abeze...@archive.org> Internet Archive
