Looking more at this, it appears the device should be automatically configured:
[root@ab763 init]# cat serial.conf # Automatically start a configured serial console # # How this works: # # On boot, a udev helper examines /dev/console. If a serial console is the # primary console (last console on the commandline in grub), the event # 'fedora.serial-console-available <port name> <speed>' is emitted, which # triggers this script. It waits for the runlevel to finish, ensures # the proper port is in /etc/securetty, and starts the getty. # -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317651 Title: ppc: VM hangs on first boot after network install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1317651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
