I think this may answer my question:
http://www.bx.psu.edu/~nate/doc/x3550.html
<http://www.bx.psu.edu/%7Enate/doc/x3550.html> shows how to do it using
a Debian install CD.
In short the key appears to be to add "console=ttyS0,57600n8" to the
kernel options on boot. So a modification to the boot CD would be required.
Also:
# grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=ttyS0,57600n8"
# grep GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND= /etc/default/grub
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=57600 --word=8 --parity=no
--stop=1"
# update-grub
to the grub startup script.
I haven't tried this yet. Will get back to you once I've tested it.
Cheers,
Tudor.

Hi,
I'm trying to experiment with remote provisioning using IPMI. I have
a machine with BMC and SOL working (thanks to Albert).
I was thinking of either provisioning using a CD left in the machine
or using TFTP and bootp. Currently I'm using a CD just to prove it
works.
However, after the system boots (and I can see the whole boot process
via SOL), the screen goes blank. I've tried with the XCP boot CD and
the Ubuntu server boot CD. I've checked on other machines and both of
these use an ncurses interface with fallback for the installer.
Is there something I need to include in the boot CD/ISO/TFTP system
that would allow the installer to output to SOL? Perhaps a kernel
switch or modification?
Cheers,
Tudor.
