Good question... But I think this can be problematic on systems where you have connected some serial device. The same can be applied to ttyUSB0.
Ignore me, nobody complains about problems with syslinux that enabled seria 0l by default.
In that case, I have no problems in enabling by default.
mmm no!, on systems without serial port, serial-getty will block startup until some timeout is reached.
Try this starting it without serial ports, (ie on kvm -serial no)
Awww :(
There are practically no systems without a serial port, but this is a showstopper. This will still work with console=ttyS0 (or console=hvc0).
But can be disabled by default (or ondemand) on firmware configuration if motherboard has a pin-socket for it (is rare to find today a motherboard with the "fichita" DB-9 on the panel) Notebook, netbooks...no serial. - -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQjaipAAoJEF7VFKRb1ck4B4YH/2LdX3wLxSfJVHkQgtVp2FX6 Dlde//8NC9FEpKrH/KY6bAy6Dw2K0SJF5FDu4mHhdAR1GxE3cejQ61piH4zUSQQw fy5v6UvzT071dR+IrghPtD6x24Gtrudva4MEwjR4LZ56I/T6opX3rWKdZngDD/Ql R3a+ui0jti5zCzUQtCMcoMQvST0mT1eG5Hh8aldgu4mPlyR4Bobp59X0bBnmsI7k 0267JYxuZf2dl+YCbdpFRdRh/AE6aR/AXhK98tzCAz/Yf0PWeaQzBZyWvCpbbxDc WDC+m42VAavkEVl3Hg+eTeP/hnsH7aX8mcTmxqehZbDFZxQafmfdEhr06mMH1RY= =Wzd0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
