Can you enable serial console and catch the console output that way?
Well, not easily. I don't have a serial terminal. I suppose I
could set something up. You're suggesting I poke around to see what md
is
reporting? Also, I'm not sure why - if the keyboard console is failing
-
the serial console would work better.
Serial console can be captured to a file and then the output analysed.
So you can read afterwards the messages that are flying past.
What i do in such case, is that i take serial connector from a laptop,
and run a terminal emulater like minicom. And capture it to a file so i
can analyse what has been happening.
Yeah, I don't think there is anything pertinent prior to the md
failures, but it might be worth a shot. I don't have a laptop, but I do
have another server sitting right below the one in question. The main
problem is, neither one has a serial port.
Network console? I could tell you how to setup serial console, but i've
never done the network console
