Solved I lose serial console during bootup.

S

scilek

Something strange happened today. Prior to version 12.3, I would add these lines

Code: 
console="comconsole,vidconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"

to the /boot/loader.conf file and everything would work as expected and I would have both serial and video console to my machine.

Now, after these lines

Code: 
Loading /boot/loader.conf.local
/

are printed to the COM console, I lose the console, nothing happens when I press enter.

However, I still have the video console:

Code: 
<< BOOT >>
...

Why is this happening? What can I do to fix it?
 
The truth is you really only need one setting.

Code: 
boot_multicons="YES"           #<<<< What this does is allow multiple consoles. IE. Screen and Serial Port >>>>#
boot_serial="YES"             #<<<< This is the only line needed. This is the trigger >>>>#
comconsole_speed="115200"       #<<<< This setting is actually the default so it is not needed in most cases >>>>#
console="comconsole,vidconsole"     #<<<< This sets the multi console interfaces for legacy BIOS >>>>#
console="comconsole,efi"         #<<<< This sets the multi console interfaces for EFI BIOS >>>>#
 
My Configuration is

#SERIAL CONSOLE
console="comconsole,vidconsole"
comconsole_port="0x3f8"
comconsole_speed="115200"

Both the monitor and the serial connection work correctly
