DIAL serial console?

Would it be possible to get the DIAL install to enable serial console during
install and after installation?

I run all my systems headless and actually had an issue finding a monitor
yesterday to install on a non server hardware lacking IPMI/iLO. Serial would
be a nice to have on ttyS0, 115200n8 by default.

Thoughts?

The current (new) version of Dial for the RPiX has a new script, that, when booted,
"says" the obtained IP address out the built-in audio line out jack. That way, it can
"tell" you what its IP address is.

On what hardware platform would you like a serial console available?

I also run all my servers headless. The RPi2 has ttyAMA0 enable at boot.
On the x86 machines, I'll look into it for the next rev.

Thanks, it's really easy, just add this in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="boolean true console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"

GRUB_TERMINAL=serial
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --speed=115200 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"

I don't run the rpi images, guess I'm old school like that with my RTCMs and
pciradio cards. They sound great btw.

Yes,
That will work for once DIAL has installed and before it builds DAHDI and asterisk. I'll look into having the installer startup a serial console.
