Re: Reg: Intel Rangley Support in EDK

Hi Nate/ Ben,

Thanks for the info.

My host is Ubuntu system and I am using "minicom" for serial messages.
I will use putty with the values you mentioned.
I have been trying with different Kernel parameters  (in grub.cfg) while
installing Ubuntu Server OS.

I will update the result.

Thanks,
Dhanasekar
