What are you using for init? Is it busybox by chance. If so there was a bug in a past version that would cause this. It had to do with not setting CREAD properly I believe. -----Original Message----- From: balaji.ramalingam@philips.com [mailto:balaji.ramalingam@philips.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 8:17 PM To: linux-mips@oss.sgi.com Subject: linux on keyboardless system Hello, I'm tried booting linux 2.4.3 on my prototype system which does not have a keyboard and a monitor. I used the uart as my serial device and passed on the console=ttyS0(com1 in my pc) to the kernel. I can see the shell prompt after the kernel bootup but not able to enter anything after that. So how can I use my pc keyboard to send characters to my uart? I think I'm missing something here. Can anyone give me some hint? Thankyou in advance... regards, Balaji
