Hello all, 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. 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 uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 uart0: console (115200,n,8,1) # ps axl|grep ttyu0 0 5405 1 0 20 0 11996 1416 ttyin Is+ u0 0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 ttyu0 Here are the relevant configuration bits I copied over from 9.0 setup that works: /etc/ttys: ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" screen-256color on secure /boot/loader.conf: boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="115200" console="comconsole,vidconsole" # kenv |grep uart.0 hint.uart.0.at="isa" hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" hint.uart.0.irq="4" hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" Have there been any changes to the serial console setup in 9.1 or has anybody else experienced similar problems? __ Thanks, Ziyan.help
