that's interesting.. but seems like kernel correctly detects ttyS0 and spits it's messages to it .... console [tty0] enabled console [ttyS0] enabled .... Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 2 ports, IRQ sharing disabled serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a NS16550A .... but after init starts it doesn't work anymore :( devise is present: ls -la /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4, 64 Oct 9 21:06 /dev/ttyS0 any clue how I can get it working? > The 5536 port shall of course work too, but the Winbond chip is much > more common. > > I only meant that I haven't spent any time on my 3c3 board since I > fried it. hmm.. sad.. > Sorry for the confusion! that's ok I sometimes do not understand english quite well ;) I've checked with native bios -- works fine Roman -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
