Good.
That will make you boot time longer. Because the com2 only need to set to 19200.

Hi there,
It seems COM2 is disabled by default in the s2881/Config.lb file. Since the board has a COM2 connector, and it is what you would use with the IPMI daughter card, would it make sense to enable it by default?
I've got IPMI console redirection working by letting FILO 0.5 (in grub mode) and the kernel talk to COM2 instead of COM1. COM2 is connected to the IPMI card. With the latest ipmitool snapshot (http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net/snapshot/), that gives me have a serial console over the network without extra hardware (other than the IPMI card).
Pretty brilliant! Ward.
