I am trying to bring up a mips based board using the serial console outputing to a serial terminal. Everything seems to boot OK, I see the various printk messages of the kernel booting right up until the execve calls in init/main.c init(). After this point the board stops printing to the serial console, but if I hit return at the terminals keyboard, the terminal's cursor moves down one line. But I still have no command prompt. Up until now I have been successfully booting the board with the 2.2.13 kernel using nfs as the file system. The problem kernel is my attempt at porting 2.4.0 test 9 to the same board, using the same nfs. I suspect I have a setup problem with the serial configuration in the kernel ( not the filesystem since 2.2.13 is OK ), maybe it's not selecting the right terminal or not directing output correctly ? But I am not sure how to fix it and would appreciate any help, references to texts that would help me. Wayne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
