Nedi, Followup, bottom line, there is something goofy with the macOS 'screen'.
I just tried the astlinux-1.3.8-genx86_64-serial.iso installer on the APU2. If I use the "Serial" macOS application, it works just fine. https://www.decisivetactics.com/products/serial/ If I use "minicom" on an old MacBook, it works fine. I used another AstLinux box (I have lots of them), same USB/serial converter connected to AstLinux, ssh into AstLinux and issue: -- screen --version Screen version 4.08.00 (GNU) 05-Feb-20 screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 -- it works fine. But, if I use macOS's screen: -- screen --version Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06 screen /dev/tty.usbserial-A102MMV1 115200 --- as soon as the menus appear, the screen flashes wildly as if I was typing characters. Bottom line, don't use the macOS 'screen' with a USB/serial adapter and expect it to always work.
