Do you want to see /proc/cmdline?
OK. I had assumed that you were more familiar with the init process than you are. Using -nofb means you get zero console= options on your command line. You need one for every console you're supporting and currently are only appending one for serial. Rebuild your CD with: livecd/bootargs: console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 This will tell it to show on both the local screen and the serial, with the kernel's concept of the "console" being your serial. Also, rebuild without splash. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
