FreeBSD 7.0 BETA4 no serial console

[Marian Hettwer]

Hi All,

I thought of helping out beta testing FreeBSD 7.0, so I gave it a shot on one of our HP BL465c G1 blades.
Problem is, serial output stops right before the login prompt should kick in. Thats sad... I need serial output (don't wanna go with the crappy Java applet for VGA output).
So here's what I did:
cvsup'ed RELENG_7 from today, build a NFSROOT and pxeboot'ed FreeBSD.
Kernel is GENERIC, but with scheduler changed to SCHED_ULE

here's a snipped of a verbose boot:
sio0: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio0: port may not be enabled
sio0: irq maps: 0 0 0 0
sio0: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio0: port may not be enabled
sio0: irq maps: 0 0 0 0
sio0: <Standard PC COM port> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 flags 0x10 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A, console

looks like he's complaining, eh? But I have serial output until here:

Trying to mount root from nfs:
bceN0F:S  lRiOnOkT :s t1a0t.e3 8c.h0a.n1g4e:d/ utsor /DlOoWcNa
l/nfsroot/freebsd-70-amd64
bce0:b cGei0g:a bliitn kl isntka tuep 
changed to UP
start_init: trying /sbin/init
bce1: link state changed to UP

looks like some garbled output between bce0 and it seems to say:
bec0: link state changed to up
NFS ROOT: 10.38.0.14:/usr/local/nfsroot/freebsd-70-amd64

although I guess thats no problem...

my configuration as is:
/boot.config
-Dh

/boot/loader.conf
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="9600"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"

Yes, I like to have serial output and as a fallback vga output.

/etc/ttys
[mhettwer at blowfish] </usr/local/nfsroot/freebsd-70-amd64>grep ttyd0 etc/ttys                                                                    [16:10:55 on 07-12-13]
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt220   on secure

I believe my configuration is correct, isn't it?
Where's my login prompt? :)

It's there with VGA output...

complete verbose boot output can be delivered on demand...

Any ideas what's going wrong?!

best regards,
Marian
