Hello,
i have a generic arch. independent query.
on my embedded board i download linux kernel image through kermit
on /dev/ttyS0 at 115200 bps.
1> if i mention at kernel command line console=/dev/ttyS0,*
immedialtely after console_init() in init/main.c i get junk
characters on my kermit screen no mater whatever speed i
specify..
if i don't specify it boots , mounts ramdisk and tries to open
the
/dev/console and there it says "Warning :unable to open an initial
console"
2> if i try to open /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 it says file doesn't
exist..
where on my ramdisk image if i do "mount -o loop ramdisk /mnt"
i can see these files.
what is wrong going here..?
3> should console be linked to ttyS* and appropiately inittab
getty entry should be edited.?
I am not subscribed to this list hence pls. cc your reply to me.
Best Regards,
Ashish
