what does "platform get console" tell you?
It should say something like: $ platform get console Rear Panel Enabled Speed Pruning Log Trigger SP Console Yes 19200 No 244 KB ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You need to configure the console on the SP with the "platform set console" command.
platform set console {--serial|-s} sp [{{--enable|-e}|{--disable|-d}}] [{{--prune|-p}|{--noprune|-n}}] [{--speed|-S} {1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|38400|57600|115200}] [{--log|-l} size] [{-h|--help}] or platform set console {--serial|-s} platform [{-h|--help}] {-S|--speed} {1200|2400|4800|9600|19200|38400|57600|115200} Select the port speed for the platform console. BIOS, the platform OS and the console must all be configured for the same speed Cannot be used with: -s=platform
{-d|--disable} Indicate that the platform console monitor is inactive Cannot be used with: -e -s=platform
{-e|--enable} Indicate that the platform console monitor is active Cannot be used with: -d -s=platform
{-p|--prune} Indicate that the platform console log is to be cleaned of ANSI sequences and pruned of duplicated information Cannot be used with: -n -s=platform
{-s|--serial} {sp|platform} Specify whether the serial port is connected to the platform COMA port, or the SP serial console Cannot be used with: -e [platform] -d [platform] -p [platform] -n [platform] -S [platform] -l [platform]

Hi Stefan, I logged into the SP and tried platform console etc. but I was not really sure how that would help me. That would only change the settings of the Linux thats loaded and on a reboot the PPCboot would again spew messages on the serial. I guess I am missing something here, but cannot really visualise how to get the output of LinuxBIOS on the serial. One way perhaps would be to disable the SP at the hardware level (if that is possible).
Please let me know if it is possible to disable serial by trying "platform console" on the SP.
Regards Anil
