As you can see I have set ttyd0 to on (and adjusted the speed, but it was the same on 9600 to0)
Now, my problem is that when I do a kill -HUP 1 nothing happens; Well, I am sure something happens, it certainly doesn't start getty on that serial port though! However(!) when I start getty manually on that port:
/usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0
It promptly goes into the background and on my other machine I get the login prompt and all is well (until I logout as getty isn't being respawned). I didn't see anything logged as to why it's not working.
I will mention that I yanked the (very very broken) graphics card out of that machine, so there's no ttyv's. Do I need to make the serial console my ... console/display for getty to start working again perhaps?
Any help would be much appreciated.
