Hi Roger Thanks for getting back - I followed your instructions. It seemed I needed to swap console=ttyS0 and console=tty0 BUT opposite from what you suggested. That is, console=ttyS0 was last and by swapping it with console=tty0 and making console=ttyS0 listed first I had rc script (userspace) messages reported to ttyS0... Strange? Stranger still, when I did the above, I stopped getting a login prompt on ttyS0. So, swapping as I said above (opposite to your suggestion) gave me rc script messages to ttyS0 and no login... Do you have any ideas how to get the login prompt back? Regards, Morgan. -- Morgan Read NEW ZEALAND <mailto:mstuffATreadDOTorgDOTnz> Confused about DRM?
