Hi, |

I have a mini-ITX Board with a 800MHz Celeron-M and want to enable the serial |
| 4 |
console on this machine. I have enabled the redirection to the serial port in |
| 5 |
the bios, added: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
"s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 115200 ttyS0 vt100" |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
to /etc/inittab and expanded the kernel parameters in grub to: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
"kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda3 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
If I boot the machine beeing connected via a serial cable and watching with |
| 14 |
minicom, I can see the bios screen and even the output of grub, but as soon |
| 15 |
as the kernel boots, the serial console seems to be switched off. When the |
| 16 |
boot procedure is ready, the serial console is switched on again. This |
| 17 |
behaviour makes me believe that some of my kernel parameters must be wrong. |
| 18 |
Maybe someone can give me a hint how to solve this. |

PS: By the way, "/proc/cmdline" contains only the first |
| 24 |
parameter "root=/dev/hda3", but there is no error message in the output of |
| 25 |
dmesg, that says that the console entries would be ignored |
