Morning all,
I have a Dell 6850 that I am running in a data center environment with
Gentoo. There is no KVM capacity for it, so I have set it up with serial
console support. Dell's console redirection works great at 115200 baud, and I've
had no trouble with boot messages going to the tty at that speed either, but
Grub refuses to work over the serial port at that speed. When I add the
following lines to grub.conf:
serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no
terminal serial
the system just sits there mute and I have to boot from the liveCD and disable
the serial terminal option.
Any suggestions about this, or do I need to break down and go back to lilo,
which even though deprecated does work with high-speed serial connections.
Thanks,
Andy
