17.1 Legacy Series / Cant get serial console to work
« on: August 08, 2017, 10:20:13 am »
Hi,
I have a problem getting the serial console to work on my setup. I have a ASRock J3455B-ITX connected via a null modem cable to my NAS. The NAS is a Debian 8 Box (some Supermicro atom board).
In System->Administration I did set the primary console to serial with 115200 baud and secondary console to VGA. The VGA console started working after I disabled authentication but the serial console is not working no matter which settings I choose.
I can see the boot process on the serial console (I am using "cu" on the NAS to connect) but after "Mounting filesystem" it stops and doesn't display anything.
I want to get the serial console to work prior to updating to 17.7 for eventual debugging. I appreciate your help.
