[gentoo-accessibility] Grub2 and serial consoles

Hi,

 

Wondering if there's a way to have grub2-mkconfig include the lines needed
to enable a serial console in my grub.cfg. Can I add them to
/etc/grub.d/40_custom, or does that come too late in the file? I'd rather
not go hacking the headers include if I don't have to, unless that's the
right thing to do and Portage will be nice enough to not overwrite it
without first asking me.

 

I finally got around to upgrading to grub2! It went very smoothly. Since
grub2-mkconfig is available, I saw no reason to do a manual configuration. I
might have just found one, though.

 

I have a USB to serial adapter which I've been using as a great way to
handle emergencies when the system won't boot. I couldn't ever find a way to
get it working with legacy Grub, but it looks like, once I can identify the
USB port it's using, it's a matter of loading a couple more modules and
adding it to my terminal_input and terminal_output lines.

 

Qustion: can I add it to the 40_custom, 00_header, or something similar? Or
will I need to start maintaining my own grub.cfg?

 

Thanks,

Keith
