I am using freeipmi on a headless GuixSD server.
I have SOL (serial over LAN) working to where 'ipmiconsole' shows the
BIOS config and "Welcome to GRUB!" but nothing more.
It seems I need to configure Grub and the Kernel to send output to SOL.
Does anyone have a config for this they could share?
Many thanks IA - George

Hi George,
You probably need to pass the "console" argument to Linux command line.
If your IPMI SOL device is "/dev/ttyUSB0", try adding a
"kernel-arguments" like this in your guixSD configuration:
(kernel-arguments '("console=ttyUSB0"))
...not sure how to make Grub output to a serial console.
Hope this helps!

It did. I ended up with ...
(kernel-arguments '("console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200"))
... which leaves the local console active _and_ ships a copy over SOL.
This captures the boot messages when something awful happens and they
don't end up in /var/log. And if/when Guix punts into the REPL, I can
interact with it remotely. YEAH!
Many Thanks! - George
