Package: debian-installer Severity: normal
The installer, when run with a serial console, does configure some parts of the system to account for this, but not all. When I run the installer (from debian-6.0.5-i386-businesscard.iso) and edit the installer's kernel command line to include "console=ttyS0,9600n8", the installed system then has a getty on ttyS0 configured in inittab, and "GRUB_TERMINAL=serial" plus "GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND" in /etc/default/grub, so the installed system works with that serial console. What is missing, however, is the matching "console=ttyS0..." parameter in "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX", so the boot messages go to the VGA console and (if the boot suceeds) the next thing I see on the serial console is the login prompt. regards, cm. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
