Hi,
Can anyone confirm working serial console access on 10.1,
I've just installed a number of servers and found the following fatal
problems with 10.1 over serial
- boot menu loader breaks out to a prompt which requires 'menu' or
'boot' to be typed and shows odd screen behaviour.
ie system doesn't boot without manual intervention,
- bios to just before login shell works over console, no login shell,
but reboot messages do show.
Notes:
I do seem to still have serial access to boxes which were upgraded from
10 ->10.1
new installs are connected via on an older cyclades CAS box, the
working ones above are on a newer cyclades ACS, but the bsd boot issues
come over serial fine
so that part is not a serial access error
my config is:
boot.conf: -h
boot.config: -D
boot/loader.conf
comconsole_speed="57600"
console="comconsole"
/etc/ttys
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 on secure
or (since 10.1)
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9570" vt100 onifconsole secure
I'm only in the DC till end of tomorrow, any suggestions would be welcome..
thanks
Paul.
