For PC style serial ports >it's the config option next to "Standard/generic (dumb) serial support". That just means that that's the default for a stock kernel. What you need to know is if RedHat has enabled that option in its RHEL kernels. In FC3 it's on. I don't know if it's on or off in RHEL, and I'm not willing to pay for RHEL just so that I can find out. My guess, though, is that it's on in RHEL as well. If anyone would care to privately send me a copy of an RHEL kernel source rpm then I'll look in it to be sure, but it may be just as easy to try it. I just checked an RHEL box at work, and the base kernel configuration file indeed has the serial console option enabled. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
