Morning all, |
| 2 |
I have a Dell 6850 that I am running in a data center environment with |
| 3 |
Gentoo. There is no KVM capacity for it, so I have set it up with serial |
| 4 |
console support. Dell's console redirection works great at 115200 baud, and I've |
| 5 |
had no trouble with boot messages going to the tty at that speed either, but |
| 6 |
Grub refuses to work over the serial port at that speed. When I add the |
| 7 |
following lines to grub.conf: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no |
| 10 |
terminal serial |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
the system just sits there mute and I have to boot from the liveCD and disable |
| 13 |
the serial terminal option. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Any suggestions about this, or do I need to break down and go back to lilo, |
| 16 |
which even though deprecated does work with high-speed serial connections. |

Thanks, |
