Hello all,=20 I had a working serial console setup on Freebsd 9.0 for remote access = via my HP server's BMC serial console. I recently built and installed = 9.1-RC2 on a separate dataset on this machine's ZFS pool and merged in = my existing configuration from 9.0.=20 On 9.1-RC2 I no longer get a login prompt. However, I still do have = access to the loader prompt and can see the kernel boot messages on the = serial console. I built my GENERIC kernel and world using clang with = default flags. I see that the kernel identifies the serial port getty = has spawned on the port. # dmesg |grep uart=20 uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0=20= uart0: console (115200,n,8,1)=20 # ps axl|grep ttyu0=20 0 5405 1 0 20 0 11996 1416 ttyin Is+ u0 0:00.00 = /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 ttyu0=20 Here are the relevant configuration bits I copied over from 9.0 setup = that works:=20 /etc/ttys:=20 ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" screen-256color on secure=20 /boot/loader.conf:=20 boot_multicons=3D"YES"=20 boot_serial=3D"YES"=20 comconsole_speed=3D"115200"=20 console=3D"comconsole,vidconsole"=20 # kenv |grep uart.0=20 hint.uart.0.at=3D"isa"=20 hint.uart.0.flags=3D"0x10"=20 hint.uart.0.irq=3D"4"=20 hint.uart.0.port=3D"0x3F8"=20 Have there been any changes to the serial console setup in 9.1 or has = anybody else experienced similar problems?=20 __=20 Thanks,=20 Ziyan.=20=
