[CentOS] Install CentOS 7 over serial port on router board ?
Le 23/03/2018 ? 16:52, Kay Schenk a ?crit?:> Great! Would love to hear more about your experience!Right, here goes. So, I got the hardware this morning: Calexium router board with a quad-core AMD processor, 4 GB ram, 1 TB SATA disk, a serial console and all the cables. I have the board connected to a desktop PC running CentOS 7, using an USB-to-serial adapter. I installed Minicom, did some basic configuration, and I have a first success. In Minicom, I can manage to see the CentOS 7 boot menu, and I can also type some boot parameters. The next step is to find the right combination of boot parameters so I can install through the text console. So far, I've had no luck. Any suggestions ?
