RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

I'm able to read from ttyS0 if I cat it and type on the serial console, kernel debug output makes it to the serial console, but agetty seems stuck in an ioctl.  Other test systems work fine.

[root@taft-01 ~]# strace -p `pidof agetty`

Comment 2 John Villalovos 2010-05-25 01:33:14 UTC 
This might be a duplicate of Bug 568418
Comment 3 John Villalovos 2010-05-25 01:46:22 UTC 
Though bug 568418 may have been fixed in the kernel you tried.

If the hang you see occurs only after you enter a username, then it is likely a duplicate of Bug 590851
Comment 4 John Villalovos 2010-05-25 01:54:57 UTC 
Okay RHEL6.0-20100512.0-Server has the 2.6.32-25 kernel which already has the fix for Bug 568418.

So this leaves Bug 590851 as the likely culprit.

Can you try the test kernel in Brew and see if it fixes your problem?

Comment 5 Nate Straz 2010-05-25 13:29:41 UTC 
I booted with 2.6.32-28.el6bz590851_v1.x86_64 and I can now use the serial console again.
