syslinux.cfg serial console fails to boot as of 1.9.0_alpha12
~# cat /etc/alpine-release alpine-1.9.0_alpha12 090519
Here is the syslinux.cfg file. Note that the serial 0 9600 line works fine; the problem is with console=ttyS0,9600
~# cat /media/sda1/syslinux.cfg
serial 0 9600
timeout 20
prompt 1
default grsec
label grsec
kernel /boot/grsec
append initrd=/boot/grsec.gz alpine_dev=sda1:vfat modules=sd-mod,usb-storage console=ttyS0,9600
With the console option, the boot messages are output to the serial console as specified (ttyS0,9600). However, there is a call trace as shown below:
* Mounting boot media: ok.
* Mounting loopback device for kernel modules: ok.
* Loading hardware drivers: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
