Hello All , Please read this in full . Attached is a -FULL-
capture of a session , gzip'd .
I have a MB that allows me to redirect all bios output to the
serial port & have set it up to do so . This system will be
placed well offsite and away from helping hands . I have read &
setup (afaict) the lilo.conf appropriately per serial-console.txt
and have run 'lilo -v 3' . The system is running a bootable raid1 .
What is happening is the serial console is not working when using
the kernel on the raid . It is like the lilo commands are not
being run against the md device at all .
The kernel on the md device is 2.4.19-pre3 .

I have created partitions as such :
