How can i get SUSE to let me run my computer from a serial port connection (hyperterminal on a connected computer) without having a video card in the SUSE machine. Ive already configured grub to redirect boot output to the serial port by changing menu.lst and configured inittab to listen on the serial ports and give a logon prompt at boot time. However, when I boot the machine after taking out the video card the boot fails (im assuming this is because YaST expects a video card). How can i get it to boot?

No that's the BIOS protesting, it won't boot without a graphics output device. The positive side is
that you don't need a display once you have installed your system. I've got a couple of Asrock K7S41GX cards with integrated graphics chips and control them over ssh, but controlling them over a serial port would make no difference I suppose. Those cards run very good as servers if that's what you're out for, I also downclock the frontside bus to 100 Mhz to get them run cool and long. |
