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.
I suggest to postpone any change to this to next month. f there are no objections I'll tag a new archiso release tonight. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
