That ttyS0 is exported via the FTDI USB to Serial+JTag converter. On the laptop side (where the kernel Oopses) I see /dev/ttyUSB0 (which I instruct minicom to use via symlink to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_SheevaPlug_JTAGKey_FT2232D_B_FTS55QK6-if01-port0 -- minicom is limited to 63byte length for path to tty device) I run minicom with the following parameters: minicom -o -c on sheeva /etc/minicom/minirc.sheeva pu port /etc/minicom/tty-sheeva pu rtscts No That is 115200 8N1, with neither hardware nor software flow control. I'm pulling the USB cable while minicom is running and agetty on the other side is waiting for password input. (pulling the USB cable is too easy - and same effect is obtained when pulling power from the SheevaPlug) I have not tried yet with a different USB serial device but will do so soon to see if I can reproduce it there. (the other USBSerial device I have is: 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port) thanks, Bruno -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
