Hello Folks
I'm running f14 (still)
I've successfully configured my machine (hp ml150 g3) to redirect bios,
grub menu and login prompt - but, between the grub menu and the login
prompt I'm missing the boot messages. If I remove "quiet" from
grub.conf's kernel line I get kernel messages reported to ttyS0, but
leaving "quiet" in boot messages are report to tty0 but not ttyS0.
Any pointers any one has would be much appreciated?
(The most up-to-date information I've found seems to be here:

Anything else out there?)
The kernel generated messages will go to all consoles.
The messages from userspace (ie rc script) will only go to the last
console= listed, it has been that way pretty much forever I don't
believe anyone has looked into what changes would be needed in the rc
script to allow output to go to more than 1 console.
The only solution I have previously done is to adjust the rc scripts
to use tee and go to both console, but this is a major pain as you
have to redo it with each rc script upgrade, in that case we had our
own custom distribution for a 1000+ machines that was only being
updated every 9-12 months so it was possible to keep the required
changes with updates.
