I'm trying to kickstart an Opteron server using x86_64 boot disks and
passing the "text nofb" kernel option.
I am able to use my serial redirect when installing the i686 version of
RHEL 3, but when I'm installing the x86_64 version, it appears "nofb" is
being disregarded. The installation is taking place in text mode but
it's not 80x25 text so my serial redirect isn't working.
I have duplicated this with 2.4.21-15.0.4.EL and 2.4.21-20.EL boot
disks. Any ideas how to get x86_64 installations working over the
serial port?
Thanks.
