Please try booting via: serial No further options needed. This will run 'grml ... console=tty1 console=ttyS0,9600n8' and start mgetty for you. Does it work with minicom then? Another option would be using ser2net instead of minicom. If you are using grml 0.7 please try using grml-small 0.2 instead and report whether it works for you then. regards, -mika-
