Hello, I am using with success SYSLINUX-1.48 to boot a CD-Rom in order to realize an automatic installation of Linux. Actually all messages during the boot step are displayed on VGA screen. In the operational version, we have only a VT on COM1. I have tested to modified my syslinux.cfg like the following listing but boot messages are always displayed on VGA screen ! Can you help me, please ? (I am reading the documentation but ...) syslinux.cfg : default linux label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=ramdisk.gz init=/linuxrc console=ttyS0,9600n8 Didier PUENTES

Perhaps you could give this version a try. BTW, there's also isolinux that enables you to boot without a floppy image.

Hi, second shot. :-) Puentes Didier <Didier.Puentes at fr.thalesgroup.com> schrieb am 31.01.02:> syslinux.cfg : > > default linux > label linux > kernel vmlinuz > append initrd=ramdisk.gz init=/linuxrc console=ttyS0,9600n8Hmm. You'll get the syslinux messages on the vga with this. See my other posting about this. The kernel messages should go to the serial console, though. At least ...linux-2.4.x/Documentation/serial-console.txt tells this. Are you sure you have serial console support in the kernel? Did you try to give this command line on the syslinux boot:-Prompt (with 'prompt 1' in the configuration file ...)? BTW, if you're using an initrd the kernel automagically starts '/linuxrc', so there should be no need to set 'init=/linuxrc'. And as long as the kernel console is involved this has nothing to do with syslinux itself.

Hello, Reading all documentations I find some infos : serial 0 9600 # must be on the first line !!! default linux label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=ramdisk.gz init=/linuxrc console=ttyS0,9600n8 I tried this with half success : the first step appear on the VT (Loading ... vmlinuz) but "dmesg information" go on the VGA screen.

The rest is a kernel issue. Serial console support must be in the kernel, and the kernel argument must be correct.
