Well I finally got around to testing this, using kvm -nographic (and booting with -kernel/-initd/-append console=ttyS0) and it seemed to work fine. I agree it would be nice to be able to get grub to run on the serial console but my understanding is that this is harder than it should be on intel platforms.

I don't see any evidence in the logs of an attempt to update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898614 Title: ubuntu server installer serial console not preserved after update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1898614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
