Setup a Linux Serial Console on a Dell
In the BIOS, configure console redirection to COM1.
Next we will make the necessary GRUB config changes.
vi /etc/grub.conf
#---
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600
terminal --timeout=1 serial console
$kernel(s) console=ttyS0,9600
#---
Setup a tty to listen on the new serial console port.
vi /etc/inittab
#---
s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600,9600 linux
#---
And make sure we can login via the serial console.
vi /etc/securetty
#---
ttyS0
#---
The changes will not take affect until the next reboot.
reboot
Connect a console cable to COM1 and control your server.
