Hi. I have a problem with my serial console driver for kernel 2.4.3. The system boots fine up to the first shell script that is executed (here: rcS). Then when the first "echo" ist executed the message is displayed on the console, but the system is stuck in the cpu_idle function. I still can ping the board but the execution of the script won't continue. If I use "echo -n" everything is fine. I reckon that the tty layer is waiting for some kind of confimation from the serial driver to continue execution. But I don't what that might be. Can anybody please clarify me? regards -- Andre Messerschmidt Application Engineer Infineon Technologies AG
