Hello Andy, |

Personally I'd install a Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC card) in the machine. It gives you KVM, hardware reset and more. |

It costs a little, but I imagine that you can afford it if you can afford buying such a server :-) |

Subject: [gentoo-server] Grub over serial ports at high speeds |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Morning all, |
| 15 |
I have a Dell 6850 that I am running in a data center environment with Gentoo. There is no KVM capacity for it, so I |
| 16 |
have set it up with serial console support. Dell's console redirection works great at 115200 baud, and I've had no |
| 17 |
trouble with boot messages going to the tty at that speed either, but Grub refuses to work over the serial port at that |
| 18 |
speed. When I add the following lines to grub.conf: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no terminal serial |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
the system just sits there mute and I have to boot from the liveCD and disable the serial terminal option. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Any suggestions about this, or do I need to break down and go back to lilo, which even though deprecated does work with |
| 25 |
high-speed serial connections. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Thanks, |
| 28 |
Andy |
