The system is usually always headless, so I have "-S115200 -Dh" as the sole line in /boot.config to enable a 115200 baud serial console. This has been working fine for me up until I did a {build,install} {kernel,world} on 1st January 2013. I was pretty sure my woes began after I did the "zpool upgrade -a" and subsequently rebooted again, but now I can't be sure whether I successfully rebooted at all after the "make installworld" and mergemaster step. > > Does anyone know a sure-fire way of getting a dual console setup (high-speed serial + VGA). The recipe I had been using had worked well for a long time. I had "-S115200 -Dh" in /boot.config and the following entries in /boot/loader.conf: > > boot_multicons="YES" > comconsole_speed="115200" > console="comconsole,vidconsole" > > Now, though, if I have "-S115200 -Dh" then the system locks up at boot. Removing /boot.config gets me dual console, but only at 9600 baud. :-( I have root@copia:/root # more /boot.config -Dh and root@copia:/root # grep 'cons' /boot/loader.conf console="comconsole,vidconsole" comconsole_speed="19200" boot_multicons="yes" Which works fine for ipmi based serial over lan console in a generic 9.1-RELEASE. Not sure thats that helpful but 19200 is better than 9600 ;) Vince > > Cheers, > > Paul. > > PS: Is the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED entry in /etc/make.conf needed? I was under the impression it has been obsolete for a while and took it out of my /etc/make.conf file. > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
