Serial over Lan
 
Hi guys,

I'm having some issue to login via serial over lan ttyS1.
I can the output during the reboot via the serial console, but can't login, no getting any login prompt.
Can someone please help?
Thanks
Here my /etc/inittab
Code:
S1:23:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 115200 ttyS1 xterm
my grub: /etc/grub.conf
Code:
default=0
default ttyS1
serial 0x30e0 115200
label ttyS1
timeout=5
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
serial --port=0x30e0 --unit=1 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1

Looks like you are running Redhat/CentOS 6. Version 6.x uses Upstart and not SysV so adding the agetty line to inittab has no effect.

From everything I have found on the internet all you need to do is add the console=ttyS1,115200n8 as a kernel parameter. Although one thread seemed to indicate that version 6.4 required a /etc/init/ttyS1.conf and 6.5 did not.

This thread contains both methods so try it and see what works.

Thanks, I've done some test with both, but still hanging at
Code:
FS-Cache: Netfs ‘nfs’ registered for caching
Even if the machine is up and running on the main screen, so I don't understand what is wrong.

As far as I know that is a NFS issue and should be unrelated to using a serial console. Not enough information provided to know what is happening.

Which log would you need?

I checked other machines with same messages, it's the last line in dmesg so I'm just wondering if not related to serial console login which is not working?
