Someone has tested the latest RC of the Minimal image on the RPi3 using the serial console? Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't work as in previous composes was. It stops printing on the serial console as soon as the kernel is loaded. The append line in the extlinux.conf file seems ok.
Tomorrow I will try again. In the meanwhile could someone confirm that it works?
Thanks A.

There was a change/regression where you need to specify ttyS1 for the console, not S0, I believe it should work fine for that, I think I know what the issue is but I'm traveling this week in endless meetings so I've not had time to verify my theory as to why that is

Indeed, adding "console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200" to the append line in extlinux.conf, now the serial connection works. But initial-setup, even if the answers appears in the serial interface, doesn't work: in reality there is a login screen. Here you can find a screencast to better understand: https://alciregi.fedorapeople.org/webm/rpi3serial.webm Using the hdmi monitor and the keyboard, initial setup works.

Thanks for all the testing Alessio!
With our Beta release already delayed, I think we need to document using the display to configure initial setup for the Raspberry Pi 3 (which is what most users will do) and get this fixed for final.
Initial-setup over serial works on all other hardware tested.

That PR should fix it, you can test it easily on an existing image by editing the initial-setup.service adding ttyS1 to it

Another observation. Burning the Minimal image, inserting it in the RPi3 and booting it with the serial "cable" connected, serial communication works even if I have not "enabled" it in config and extlinux.
Ciao A.

The kernel could see the serial port anyway due to the DT, and the kernel might get the option automatically by the bootargs or console options from the firmware although I'm guessing here.
