Hi, I'm trying to write a console/tty driver, and I need help. When the kernel boots, I can see that console output is working through my driver. However, after the initial kernel boot, my console stops working. Here are the relevant parts of the boot log: Using P4080DS HV machine description Memory CAM mapping: 256/256 Mb, residual: 0Mb Linux version 2.6.34-6506-00741-gbd4ea2b-dirty (b04825@efes) (gcc version 4.4.1 (Sourcery G++ Lite 4.4-194) ) #33 SMP Mon Oct 25 16:20:20 CDT 2010 Found initrd at 0xc1300000:0xc3b00000 ...

NET: Registered protocol family 10 IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver NET: Registered protocol family 17 NET: Registered protocol family 15 drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) Warning: unable to open an initial console. -19 RAMDISK: gzip image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly on device 1:0. Freeing unused kernel memory: 236k init And this is where it stops. As you can see, I have a console, and then I lose it. What could cause this to happen? On the surface, it appears that init can't open /dev/console, but I can't figure out what the root cause is. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-console" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
