[PATCH] Add the serial conole atrribute in kickstart files for Fedora 14-18

[Kashyap Chamarthy]

A simple patch to add serial console attribute to kickstart files Fedora
{14,15,16,17,18}. Although, kickstart files for RHEL and Fedora releases prior
to Fedora-14 had the serial console attribute added. So I guess, it's a minor
over look.

Hm, I actually purposely removed it from Fedora 14 (take a look at commit
e884952569a95100d667cce8ca1c50a952a3f3fe), and the others were copied from
that.  I honestly don't remember the exact circumstances, but clearly we
were having some issues.  At this point, if you test it on Fedora 15, 16,
17, and 18 and it works OK, I'd be happy to add it back in.

Thanks,
Chris

I remember what problem you're talking about. It was plymouth issues[1].

[1] For F15, F16:

The below will resolve it :
---
bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200
rd_NO_PLYMOUTH"
---
Reference ks: http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/fed-minimal.ks

Alternatively, if the guest was already installed *with* plymouth:

Masking plymouth-start.service using would do -- "ln -s /dev/null
/etc/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service"

I always ensure test with serial consoles. If the above sounds reasonable to you, I'll
try
send fixed KS files for each Fedora distro accordingly.


Thanks for your response.
