-Serenity is a graphical OS and thus boots directly to the desktop. If your computer doesn't have a serial port and it fails to boot, you can force Serenity to boot into text mode by editing **Kernel/Arch/i386/Boot/boot.S** and removing **| MULTIBOOT_VIDEO_MODE** from the end of the **multiboot_flags** line before (re)running **make** and **make install**.
