Re: Reg: Intel Rangley Support in EDK

[Dhanasekar Jaganathan <jdhanasekarmca@gmail.com>]

Hi Nate, Ben,

After changing   Windows -> Translation = CP437 in Putty, I can able to see
proper Shell and BIOS setup.
After Grub, I am not seeing OS installation Process. I have changed Kernal
Parameters too.

May Linux Server Installation(via serial) use different character setting
or baud rate?.

Thanks,
Dhanasekar
