Linux: setting up serial console
Cuz I forget:
- Download kermit, e.g. sudo yum install ckermit
- Produce a .kermrc like so (snipped from man page)
set modem type none
set line /dev/ttyS0;
set carrier-watch off;
set speed 115200;
set flow rts/cts;
set parity none;
set flow xon/xoff;
connect; - (Optionally) modify grub.conf like so:
serial --unit=0 --speed=115200
terminal --timeout=10 serial console - Add to the appropriate kernel line:
console=ttyS0,115200
