Hello
We have computers which redirect COM2(ttyS1) to SOL(Searial console Over Lan).
We have been using pxelinux to boot them with the following pxelinux.cfg/default setting.
pxelinux.cfg/default
serial 1 19200
console 1
prompt 0
timeout 100
default menu.c32
label Linux Diskless
menu label ^Linux Diskless
kernel menu.c32
append pxelinux.cfg/linux.menu
label Bios Setup
menu label ^Bios Setup
kernel menu.c32
append pxelinux.cfg/biossetup.menu
label Linux Installer
menu label Linux ^Installer
--- snip ------------ snip ------
Now, recently we bought different computers whose BMC(Baseboard Management Controller) redirect COM3(ttyS2) to
SOL.
We were able to see pxelinux menu with old machines but we can't see them with newer ones.
We want to see pxelinux menu's outputs with both machines.
Is it possible to have pxelinux output both COM2 and COM3 simultaneously ?
Or, is it possible to have pxelinux behave like GRUB, which prompt something like "Press any key to proceed." and after receiving any input, output GRUB's menu only to the device which it received inputs?
Sincerely,
Kimitoshi Takahashi
