Hello, Is it possible to have the serial port working by default when booting with no configuration? When often install new DL boxes remotely and it is easier to have serial access than KVM access from a remote site. Regards. |

It's been a while since I used the serial console, but doesn't this also require a kernel boot parameter and it would redirect all output to the serial port? -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. |

That is correct and it works this way when you use the install-on-usb script and choose a boot loaader with serial console. My problem is at the end of the boot process because securetty and inittab are no modified by install-on-usb script.

AFAIR, I added the code to modify securetty and inittab... Is it not working completely or just because of error? May I see a transcript of install-on-usb ?

I do not see any errors when running install-on-usb script. Maybe you did not understand what I wrote. The configuration which is copied in the boot media (on the same directory than bootcd.iso) is correctly modified (securetty and inittab). But if you delete it (for the reason I mentioned before) and you boot with no configuration, the securetty and inittab (comes from bootcd.iso?) are configured to disable serial prompt. How can I/we change that? Regards. 2010/10/28 Serge Leschinsky <ser...@gm...>: > AFAIR, I added the code to modify securetty and inittab... Is it not working > completely or just because of error?

You need to modify the default configuration, i.e. mount iso, copy the content, modify /cd-etc/* (securetty and inittab) or /config/etc-mods.tar.bz2, recreate iso. Serge |

Look quite simple but can you just tell me which is teh exact command to use to recreate the iso. I have never used mkisofs.

"console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200" sends it to both the screen and the serial. That's what I use for servers with serial-based remote access cards.

The command is the following:
mkisofs -b boot/isolinux.bin -c boot/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-o /tmp/new_bootcd.iso \
-J -l -L -R \
-p "he...@de..." \
-P "Devil Linux Custom CD" \
-A "Devil-Linux v1.4" \
-iso-level 2 \
-quiet -z /PREPARED_IMAGE/
There is a script for that - /config/scripts/custom-cd.
It's the simplest way to modify ISO. Also you can check how it does the job and
modify it/ or do it manually.
