Hi The ConMute BIOS is apparently new to the 5501. I have been unable to find a user's manual for the 5501 so I (try to) use the manual for the 4801 instead.
After having used the hints from the "5501 Mystery - to me - at boot time" thread I was able to get the 5501 to boot without a serial terminal connected, but it would not reboot reliably. 1 out of 3 times the box hang - both with warm and cold reboot. It is obviously a flowcontrol issue - what else could it be?. I believe I have exhausted the configuration options for GRUB by using these lines in GRUB's menu.lst: # Hide the menu hiddenmenu # Setup a serial console serial --unit=0 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal serial so I have started looking for similar options in the BIOS. There aren't many and most of the are either obviously irrelevant for serial i/o or/and described in the 4801 manual. ConMute isn't described. It apparently has influence on the process for since I chane it from Enabled to Disabled, it has booted reliably. So what is the meaning of ConMute?
