I can't tell when this broke, but compiling pxeboot with BOOT_PXELDR_PROBE_KEYBOARD set would redirect the console to the serial port if no keyboard was detected. This no longer works, which explains the problems i had with the serial port on my intel 1U servers. the relevant code is in /sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/pxeldr.S. compiling with BOOT_PXELDR_ALWAYS_SERIAL works as expected, so IMHO the test: testb $KEYBOARD_BIT, MEM_BIOS_KEYBOARD # keyboard present? is failing, but i have no idea why any ideas? danny
