[olug] serial redirect

[Kenton Brede]

I've configured a serial port on one of my linux boxes to listen for a
terminal.  I can log in fine.  All works well, except, I can't seem to
redirect the kernel boot messages to the serial port.  From what I've
read this is accomplished by adding append="console=ttyS0,9600n8" to
lilo.conf.  Yes I ran lilo.  At any rate this is all I get when I reboot
from the terminal -

#############################################################
[slock:~]# reboot

Broadcast message from root (ttyS0) (Wed Sep 10 11:04:05 2003):

The system is going down for reboot NOW!
[slock:~]#
LILO 22.5.6.1 boot:
Loading Linux....................
BIOS data check successful

Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable slock ttyS0

slock login: 
##############################################################

Here is my lilo.conf file -

boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
prompt
default=Linux
# sends lilo prompt to serial port
serial=0,9600n8
imeout=100
restricted
password=whatever

image=/boot/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        read-only
append="console=ttyS0,9600n8"

I've checked my bios setting and don't see anything in there that would
help with this.  Any thoughts?
Thanks,
kent
