[Geert Stappers] > Add missing serial line (detection) support to the list. Are you talking about the missing serial line support in grub-installer, or some feature of the grub boot loader? The first should be easily fixable. At least we use grub with serial console here at the university, and it works just fine. I am not aware that it is possible to get grub (nor lilo) to autodetect serial lines. It this possible with lilo?
