Once upon a time, Randy Carpenter <rcarpen () network1 net> said:Likewise OS vendors are increasingly dropping support for installing OSes via serial port (RHEL, VMWare, etc.) At leaset with RHEL, you can make your own boot image that gets rid of the asinine splash screen (which is the only thing that causes the requirement for a full VGA console)RHEL installs with a serial console just fine. You also don't have to "make your own boot image" to get a non-graphical boot.
Probably a bit off topic for this thread, but... If I boot the default install disc/image on any of my servers (mostly Supermicro), it hangs at a blank screen when isolinux loads. If you get rid of the splash screen, it works fine. This has been an issue since RHEL4, I think. Maybe other server manufacturers handle the video a little differently, and are able to get past the splash screen. -Randy
