[quoted lines by Janina Sajka on May 8, 2002, at 11:47] >Are you certain you were booting to runlevel 3? The more likely possibility is that his inittab didn't have a getty (mingetty) line for the serial port he was using. The serial console capability doesn't automatically bring up a login prompt on the port being used. It just means that system console output is written to that port. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
