Thanks Clint. I understand that we can't lose any messages going to the serial console. So I experimented and I have a different solution that I think would satisfy. My main goal is to *by default* be able to see in the VMware console the kernel messages as well as the first few messages from cl

The kernel actually does a good job of handling multiple 'console=' items. It then writes the same data to each of them (if they're valid devices). However, when init (upstart) takes over, it only writes to /dev/console. So whatever the /dev/console means to the kernel is the only place that outp
