[linux-lvm] serial console and initrd

[linux-lvm] serial console and initrd

[John Wingenbach]

Hello,

I could use a little help on this one.  I just built an initrd (via
lvmcreate_initrc) so that I could boot w/ my root fs in LVM.  It worked
great except I lost my serial console.  It is as if the serial console
is lost due to the initrd.  Prior to using an init ramdisk, I was having
no issues with my serial console support from the kernel.

TIA,

John

Just to make shure, you have
- support for serial console build into your kernel
- the console=ttS/0 (or what ever you need for your serial console)
  kernel parameter (in the lilo append line)

Cu,

Ahh.. Thank you!  I missed that.  I had a global append line which got lost by
the custom one for the initrd boot.
