When you edit the /etc/grub.conf file, use the following guidelines:
• Disable GRUB's graphical interface and use the text-based interface;
otherwise, the GRUB screen will not be displayed in console redirection.
To disable the graphical interface, comment out the line starting with
splashimage .
• To start multiple GRUB options to start console sessions through the serial
connection, add the following line to all options:
console=ttyS1,57600
The example
shows console=ttyS1,57600 added to only the first
option.
