I'm trying to get a headless Fedora 6 box working with a serial terminal on com1. I've got grub set up so that kernel output goes to the terminal, and I've added this line to my inittab: s0:345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt100 but agetty is not being run. If I run agetty with this same command line explicitly (from a prompt), then the terminal gets a login prompt and I can login fine, so it seems to just be a matter of getting init to run agetty. I've read several how-tos on this but no joy. I've also tried mgetty with the same results. Any ideas? TIA. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
