Soekris has a weird add-console-and-vga-together on console. you didnt say how youre booting, but for me grub booting with output to serial works with this: serial --speed=115200 terminal serial timeout 5 default 5 title Voyage Linux 0.8 (Build Date 20111122) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT_FS console=ttyS0,115200n8 all_generic_ide ide_c ore.nodma=0.0 ide_core.nodma=0.1 initrd /initrd.img IIRC, pxelinux likes: SERIAL 0 115200 CONSOLE 0 >> Commands are recognized even though the echoed letters are wrong. > > This matches the "parity" conjecture above. > > Mouse > _______________________________________________ > Soekris-tech mailing list > Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com > http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
