The only strange thing to me is that name serial-getty@ttyS0.service since I have just serial-getty@ttyS0.service - Serial Getty on ttyS0 But I guess it doesn't really matter. > root@master:~# systemctl start serial-getty@ttyS0.service Does it start when you do that? Any messages? Has it ever worked? What kind of hardware is it? I had quite some issues finding a PCIe card with a serial port that works in Linux but the third or fourth card was the charm. Both console messages and running agetty on it just worked. Doesn't work for Grub though.
