Actually, you likely do have hardware for the serial ports. It's part of the legacy ISA stuff in your north bridge. Just your laptop does not have the pins hooked up to a DB9. My laptop's docking station exposes those.
What I think is that memtest86 should look for console= in the kernel config file, and not add the serial console unless kernel has one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567955 Title: grub2 always adds "memtest86 serial console" even when no serial port To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/567955/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
