no kernel prompt

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 





Hello guys,

I was able to sort out the console issue and know I think the kernel is
able to open /dev/console and I 'm not getting that error message from the kernel saying
unable to open console blau blau..

I also inserted some printk's in the init/main.c before and after the kernel executing /sbin/init.
So I thing the kernel can execute the sbin/init. I replace the init fiel with a simple
shell script which echo the "hello world" message.

But still I cant see the hello message or kernel prompt on my screen apart from the
below kernel messages. I'm using console=ttyS0 (com1).
Can I use the same srial port (COM1 in my case)  for both kernel debug messages
as well as the console. Because my uart is fine.
I also have the console, tty0, ttyS0 devices in the /dev in my ramdisk.
I also have the /etc/fstab file which has the ramdisk entry and agetty in /etc/inittab.
Still I dont get a kernel prompt. I'm running out of options.

Is there a simple test which I can do to confirm that I dont have any issue with
the console or with my ramdisk image?

Please give me some tips and I would really appreciate it.

regards,
Balaji
