grub via serial console
Posted on April 10th, 2007 by Christian in Gentoo
As I have quite some trouble every time I need grub via serial console, here’s just my personal reminder on how to do it right:
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf serial --unit=0 --speed=38400 terminal --timeout=15 console serial title hardened-sources-2.6.20-r1 root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-hardened-r1 root=/dev/hda1 console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0
Additionally the agetty entry for ttyS0 in /etc/inittab needs to be uncommented and changed accordingly to the serial speed
# cat /etc/inittab | tail s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 ttyS0 vt100
Saying thank you

As I’m way better writing stuff than saying it with my own words, here a short “Thank you!“
- Christel, you have been a gracious and honest person, thanks for all the advice and help in the last year
- Chrissy, thanks for the inspiring words, you really made/make me feel better
- Alec (antarus), you’ve been a real friend and to say it with your own words “It sucks to be you”; to phrase it differently, I’m really going to miss you
- Bryan, thanks for all the help, thanks for all the fun at FOSDEM (and after FOSDEM, hah)
- Ned, Alexander (pappy); you’ve both been an inspiration, thanks for letting me work on hardened foo; it has been real fun
- Mike (vapier), thanks for being a smart ass and inspiration at the same time
- Chris, thanks for the inspiration and for being a sarcastic person
- Andrew, thanks for trying to make a fun out of me
and thanks for warning me of Chris’s sarcasm
The Letting Go (why does it hurt so much ?)
Posted on April 8th, 2007 by Christian in Life
As some of you know, I had some company the last few weeks by two amiable girls from Belgium. We did some hanging out, went out a couple of times and basically had a great time.
One thing I didn’t thought was possible, is them getting close to me (as in “I’d really like them to stay some time”) and as I gave them a ride to the train station yesterday, I really had my problems. Out of the sudden I had a feeling not to let them go, or is it the feeling to let friends (and I’m talking about real friends) slip by, without even knowing them for more than 3 weeks.
Well, it’s too late now; they are back in Eupen by now (hopefully 
) and I’m probably never gonna see them again.
