Get a terminal server or use a null modem cable to Can anyone explain what the idea of the serial-console stuff in the kernel configuration is? I tried it expecting boot messages etc to come out on the terminal I had connected to one of the serial ports, but it didn't do that.. The only way I could access the machine via it was using a getty on it - which of course doesn't need a kerlel config option enabled.... Any clues? Cheers - Scot.
