You must restart the Linux operating system after you complete these procedures
for the changes to take effect and to enable SOL.
SUSE SLES 9.0 configuration:
Note: This procedure is based on a default installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server (SLES) 9.0. The file names, structures, and commands might be different for
other versions of SUSE Linux.
To configure the general Linux parameters for SOL operation when using the SLES
9.0 operating system, complete the following steps.
Note: Hardware flow control prevents character loss during communication over a
serial connection. You must enable it when using a Linux operating system.
1. Add the following line to the end of the # getty-programs for the normal
runlevels section of the /etc/inittab file. This enables hardware flow control and
enables users to log in through the SOL console.
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -h ttyS0 19200 vt102
2. Add the following line after the tty6 line at the bottom of the /etc/securetty file to
enable a user to log in as the root user through the SOL console:
ttyS0
3. Complete the following steps to modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst file:
