In /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default, change the add the following to the "append" line:
append = "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600"
(don't blow away the other stuff on the append line of course)
You may also want to increase the speed of course. Let me know how that goes.

I don't know _exactly_ what speed it's transferring at, but I set it to 115200 in BIOS and also in agetty and it seems to be okay. I am actually not too concerned about SIS, I needed PXE-BOOT!!
Know how to get that going? ;-)
Thanks,
Bernard

Ah... that's because in the OS environment, something needs to be set explicitly for console redirection. The SIS network boot kernel can be set that way very easily (just change options on the kernel loader line). However... I tried this, and it worked just fine, but: it slows EVERYTHING down to the speed that the serial line can transfer the stdout!!! Hence... it seemed like a very bad idea for using during the build. That was at 9600 baud though... I know the Cyclades can be set faster, but I didn't experiment with that yet... maybe it's not such a big deal.

We are using it for our opteron clusters, it seems to work okay when we're in BIOS or have booted into Linux, but none of the PXE-boot/SIS stuff gets re-directed. It would be handy for OSCAR installations... any ideas?
Thanks,

We use cyclades on one of our test clusters. I don't remember what particular models. Jeremy set them up, so he would be better to answer these types of questions. On Fri, 2003-12-12 at 12:53, Bernard Li wrote:
Anybody have experience using the Cyclades TS-3000 for terminal re-direction?
