tags 544409 + fixed pending thanks Hey, Noèl. Sorry for the delay responding to this.
The ordering of the console= arguments is important for which console gets kernel IO control. From [0]: "When multiple consoles are listed output is sent to all consoles and input is taken from the last listed console. The last console is the one Linux uses as the /dev/console device." If we have only one menu entry with console=tty0 list last, then serial console users won't be able to have control without hand editing the grub config. For vice-versa... However, I think we've fixed this problem with the new grub2 config that allows the user to choose between serial or graphical console at boot time. In the new system only one menu option will be presented, and the console is determined by where the user provides input (and the default will be video console). So in short, this problem will be fixed with our next release (0.25). Thanks for the report. jamie. [0] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/configure-kernel.html
