If the device is indeed called "ttyS0". Remember it's a MIPS board, not
a peecee. For example, on StrongARM SA11x0 you need to use ttySA0
instead of ttyS0.


Correct.  Thanks for the correction Erik.
My point being, you sould have such an entry in your inittab when
working on a serial console.
I have faced this problem before and spent hours trying to figure out
what was only a silly-mistake.
