For "often" you can substitute "always" (at least in my experience). > Yes, you will get the entire POST including the initial BIOS id.

Just to make this clear, if the BIOS "redirection after boot" is enabled, the VGA console will be duplicated on the serial port. This may be okay (and is the easiest way to make it work), but if you go that route you want to make sure that you are not also using the serial port directly (e.g. grub console=ttyS1,57600, /etc/inittab ttyS1 entry, etcetera). If you have redirection after boot disabled, you are responsible for making serial access work in ISOLINUX/PXELINUX, grub, and Linux. @alex -- mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
