Hi - IMX31 kernels have a special tty name, like ttymxc0, I assume it's the same on iMX51 This needs some action on the rootfs side... 1) Ensure you have the ttymxc0 device in the rootfs image mknod /dev/ttymxc0 c 207 16 2) Tell the rootfs it's OK to run a login prompt there echo "ttymxc0" >> /etc/securetty I ran agetty directly on /dev/ttymxc0 since I don't use Fedora's boot process, so you might also need to look in inittab to start agetty on /dev/ttymxc0 at all. For reference, this is how I ran agetty directly: agetty /dev/ttymxc0 115200 vt100-nav -Andy _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
