Please explain to knowledgeable people at what stage data output to the serial port begins.
When loading the 1.03b loader (for DS3617xs or for DS3615xs), it comes to the standard screen about successful loading. The flash drive flashes a little more and everything stops there. No data is output to the serial port. Not a single letter. I'm wondering if the bootloader doesn't find the network card, should it output to the serial port? Or, if there are problems with the network, no data will be output? I tried different options, including different boot loaders and BIOS settings - I couldn't see anything on the serial port.
You may think that it doesn't work for me, but it doesn't, because on the 1.04b bootloader for DS918+, all data is output correctly to the serial port. I see all the messages when loading.
I'm not asking about my specific problem right now, I'm asking you to explain under what conditions output to the serial port is not possible.
Does the serial port settings in grub.cfg affect this? I noticed that the serial port parameters for 1.04b and 1.03b are different. Could this be a problem?
Why do I need this? I want to see the reason why I can't run DS3617xs or for DS3615xs.
There is one point: my motherboard does not have a built-in serial port, so I use an external PCI-E serial port controller, however, I am not sure that this could be a problem.
