We run /lib/udev/console_check on it (from a udev rule, of course), and if it seems to be the console then _that_ will start the serial service in upstart. Hence, the answer "just boot with console=ttyS0 and it should work" was, at least in theory, correct. It doesn't always work properly, though. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
