You must edit two files in Linux to ensure that the console redirection still works after the

SUSE Linux.
Edit these files:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
/etc/inittab
Menu.lst or grub.conf
Add the parameter that is highlighted in bold in the file shown in Example 7-10.
Example 7-10 Example of the grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
# initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda1

RHEL 6: If you have installed RHEL 6 in UEFI mode, you must edit the
/boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.conf file instead of the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
