Thanks for the response Ed, it has been helpful. I checked the communication both ways - its working fine. But on the dev m/c if I do "cat", it does not wait long. You have to give echo on test m/c as soon as possible, else it comes out of prompt. There is another test using minicom where I should see the message sent by test kernel when it waits for connection with remote gdb at boot time. Here I am not getting anything. Not sure why. One thing is my dev machine is RedHat 8.0 while target is Mandrake. Could this be creating problems. Deepankar. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
