Serial console of 12.0-ALPHA3 fiddles with the terminal colors

[Dr. Rolf Jansen]

Hello,

I updated my BeagleBone Black to 12.0-ALPHA3, and now, when booting, the serial console behaves differently (I use cu from a Mac Terminal via a FDTI/USB adapter).

When it comes to "Loading kernel...", the terminal color is inverted, instead of maintaining the usual black on white, all over the sudden everything is displayed in white on black. And more seriously, the logging before loading the kernel, is deleted, which means I cannot see the diagnostics of the u-boot loader.

Is there any setting, to prevent the serial console manipulates color and content of a terminal session?

Best regards

Rolf
