It is a bug in plymouth (which provides the graphical boot animations). You can add "rd_NO_PLYMOUTH" to your boot line (as long as you don't have encrypted filesystems) and the serial console should work as expected (with console=ttyS0 listed after console=tty0). I think it is fixed in newer plymouth, but I'm not sure. I see the bug on RHEL 6 systems, and the fix has not been released there yet. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
