Pointed out that the X Window
System may still need to be running even if a
serial console is used. Supplied the gdm
configuration used in Figure 7-3.
- Greg Matthews, Nathan Neulinger and Romildo Wildgrube
Encountered and reported that machines hang when booting
if kernel parameter
console=ttyS…r is
used. This is due to a kernel bug which loops testing
CTS without firstly checking that
DSR and DCD are
asserted.

- Igor Sviridov
Configuration of Livingstone
Portmaster terminal server in Section E.5.
- Sue Bauer-Lee
Suggested using the off clause in
/etc/inittab in Figure 6-9 rather than commenting or
deleting the excess mingetty
invocations. This has the advatage that no automated system
administration tool will restore the excess
inittab entries.
- Yasuhiro Suzuki
Noticed inconsistent descrtiptions of Clear to Send and
Ready to Send.
