I'm trying to configure GRUB2 to present on both gfxterm and a serial console.
My grub config seems to allow for the presentation if the GRUB2 menu in both places, but the serial console does not seem to accept keyboard events. When the host is fully booted, and a login prompt is presented, I am able to log in on the serial console, and interact with the system. If I set the GRUB_TERMINAL to just 'serial', I can indeed interact with the GRUB2 menu. Is this working for anyone else? My specific environment is SLES 12 SP5 under Azure. Misc packages: grub2-2.02-12.39.1.x86_64 kernel-default-4.12.14-122.41.1.x86_64 Some of my directives in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_TIMEOUT=8 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash=silent showopts resume=/dev/sda3 crashkernel=100M,high crashkernel=72M,low console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlyprintk=ttyS0,rootdelay=300 transparent_hugepage=never" GRUB_TERMINAL="gfxterm serial" #GRUB_TERMINAL="serial" GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --parity=no" I'm happy to provide more particulars. -- Brian Reichert <[email protected]> BSD admin/developer at large
