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! --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAliGQBAACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPpRdAgAkhoU/HTYB8hL0ZzfphGB5h8CIZH0PwLX5eY/BfWgbgrHZO8drTaGPfuI lNXVgNKSBbwpvsRD02y8K0zrLRTkLZE67o4YF4XmtMvL4aeo4/zj7Q/fOOInEcgH +JdvOgQfn8H3QQ40ez78vBmxcb2cZ5F61Krr1Gt0BSUr3qW8lFnmHzP3S+lVKMqr MSyzQ2FjrEn89gU+1P7UjYLRXgfAEMzNliZstCKEHiL+EQ/w8ZyMz2wy+vhdVh9P H6vY17PsSPcTXJckXCE1+ZL+GAIfMFPNQ5w+zEkmGKCYuv4IfvhDEb2Zy08QKLbi KzfZETz7t/nHJzWUA1UHhOzR0CL1cg== =QydH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
