Hi,On our boxes the access to the serial console is done via the management processor, so the baud rate is limited to 9600 :-( If this a problem, I can use another serial port on the machine.One of the firmware versions might be a problem, since the machine is quite old (more than 2 years). But the latest available firmware (2.31) is installed... Here is a dump of "info fw" in the EFI shell: FIRMWARE INFORMATION Firmware Revision: 2.31 [4411] PAL_A Revision: 7.31/5.37 PAL_B Revision: 5.65 SAL Spec Revision: 3.01 SAL_A Revision: 2.00 SAL_B Revision: 2.31 EFI Spec Revision: 1.10 EFI Intel Drop Revision: 14.61 EFI Build Revision: 1.22 POSSE Revision: 0.10 ACPI Revision: 7.00 BMC Revision 1.52 IPMI Revision: 1.00 SMBIOS Revision: 2.3.2a Management Processor Revision: E.02.10With standard Linux the output goes to both consoles, except the part where the services start up. Andreas Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins) wrote: This is on both serial and video. And yes, "root=/dev/sda2" works with standard Linux.It's an rx2600.Hmmm... mysterious. This is the same box I am using and the same bits. Perhaps a baud rate problem on the serial port? The hack I mentioned assumes 115200. (This can be configured via the EFI shell.) When I am running Linux, I use "console=ttyS0,115200" but I don't know if specifying a different baud rate for Xen/ia64 will work (yet). Otherwise could be different firmware versions, but one wouldn't expect that to cause this kind of a problem. When you boot real Linux with the same console= are you getting boot output on the VGA display?
