From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Please make setting up a serial terminal easier. I have to make a few minor changes to about 8 different files to get it to work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to follow the instructions of the 2. remote-serial terminal how-to. It is well written, but 3. it should be easier to setup Additional info:
Are you referring to a serial console which you want to use after installation?
Yes, that is correct. I prefer to do my installations in front of the machine, and then manage them via a portserver. I think it is more secure this way, of course I could be wrong.
This bug should not be in the MODIFIED state.
If you do a serial installation (eg, booting with 'linux console=ttyS0') everything should get set up sanely as far as I know. What isn't being done?
I didn't know about 'linux console=ttyS0'. Where would I put this? In the grub.conf? I was following the instruction in the remote-serial terminal.
The installer supports installing over the serial terminal. If you install like this (booting with 'linux console=ttyS0'), then everything gets set up for a serial console.
