Hi all, |

I put up a post on the forums, but it didn't look too popular: |

Basically, I've got a server with a serial console, and I've got: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
BIOS/POST/ACPI/Boot ROMs |
| 10 |
Grub |
| 11 |
Kernel debug messages (as the kernel loads) |
| 12 |
agetty (for logins) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
all going to ttyS1 (the RJ45 serial port), but not the output of the runscripts! |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Does anybody have some pointers on how to get the runscripts to output to ttyS1 instead of the video card? |

Relevant info: |

grub.conf: |
| 21 |
title=linux-2.4.20-wolk4.6s.grsec serial console |
| 22 |
root (hd0,1) |
| 23 |
kernel /boot/linux-2.4.20-wolk4.6s.grsec root=/dev/md1 devfs=mount,nodall console=tty0 console=ttyS1,38400 |
| 24 |

title=linux-2.4.20-wolk4.6s.nogrsec serial console |
| 26 |
root (hd0,1) |
| 27 |
kernel /boot/linux-2.4.20-wolk4.6s.nogrsec root=/dev/md1 devfs=mount,nodall console=tty0 console=ttyS1,38400 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/etc/inittab: |
| 30 |
c0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 ttyS1 vt100 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
/etc/securetty: |
| 33 |
ttyS1 |
| 34 |
tts/1 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Those are just the relevant snippets. The only part of the bootup process I currently don't see is the part where: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
* Starting <whatever> [OK] |
| 39 |
* starting <something else> [OK] |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The only relevant post on google I saw was saying I needed sysvinit to redirect, but that seemed wacky. Oh, I did delete the /etc/ioctl.save as the directions in the serial-console.txt docs in the kernel Documentation tree say. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Am I just supposed to create a custom initscript that redirects all commands to /dev/tts/1? Or do I just need to redirect /sbin/rc while its running sysinit? |

Any pointers or BTDT would be appreciated. |
