Configuring Linux for Serial Console Redirection During Boot

The following steps are specific to the Linux GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB).

Similar changes would be necessary if you use a different boot loader.

NOTE: When you configure the client VT100 emulation window, set the window or

application that is displaying the redirected console to 25 rows x 80 columns to

ensure proper text display; otherwise, some text screens may be garbled.

Edit the /etc/grub.conf file as follows:

Locate the General Setting sections in the file and add the following two

new lines:

serial --unit=1 --speed=57600

terminal --timeout=10 serial
