AFAIK the problem is, that the `terminal --timeout=5 serial'
defaults after the timeout to the VGA/keyboard console. And
exactly this is the problem. In the embedded world, the serial
line is the default, the VGA/keyboard may be present as
application addon !
Perhaps it is possible (I have to reread the GRUB sources or
do tests), that with following combinations, the default can
be changed:
serial --unit=0 --speed=19200
terminal --timeout=0 serial
terminal --tiemout=5 console
In this setup, perhaps `terminal' stays after the timeout to
the old (serial) setup.
BTW: I only use GRUB from CVS and NOT from RedHat !!
With friendly regards
