Configuring Linux for Serial Console During Boot
The following steps are specific to the Linux GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB). Similar changes are
required if a different boot loader is used.
NOTE: When you configure the client VT100 emulation window, set the window or application that
is displaying the redirected Virtual Console to 25 rows x 80 columns to make sure the correct text
displays. Else, some text screens may be garbled.
Edit the /etc/grub.conf file as follows:
1. Locate the General Setting sections in the file and add the following:
serial --unit=1 --speed=57600 terminal --timeout=10 serial
2. Append two options to the kernel line:
kernel ............. console=ttyS1,115200n8r console=tty1
3. Disable GRUB's graphical interface and use the text-based interface. Else, the GRUB screen is not
displayed in RAC Virtual Console. To disable the graphical interface, comment-out the line starting
with splashimage.
The following example provides a sample /etc/grub.conf file that shows the changes described in
this procedure.
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that all
# kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, e.g.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sdal
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
