Moving to RHEL 5.5 so it doesn't get mistakenly closed by the bot I have the same problem with grub-0.97-13.2. Please note that the original poster used "--unit=/dev/ttyS0" which is invalid and results in "Error 23" I used the following commands to duplicate the problem: grub> serial Error 30: Invalid argument grub> serial --dev=/dev/ttyS0 --speed=9600 Error 30: Invalid argument grub> serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 Error 30: Invalid argument grub> Following is the dmesg output about the serial ports: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A 00:09: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:0a: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Any status on when this might get fixed? I need to use serial consoles for my devices when they are deployed. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?". Jeff, I think you've used "--unit=" where you meant "--device=". Peter, You are correct. However in Comment#2 Pete Caldes corrected me and duplicated the original issue I was trying to convey. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
