Hi,

I recompiled the new kernel to replace the 2.6.10 that came with my
DVEVM, using this kernel I was able to boot into a debootstrapped
(arm) rootfs and have basically managed to get debian working on it.

I am stuck with trying to get the serial terminal working.

My Kernel Command Line:
Kernel command line: mem=120M console=ttyS0,115200n8

ls -l /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2008-04-01 17:53 /dev/ttyS0

I have added the following to init-tab to start-up a login shell on
the serial line:

/etc/inittab
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100


everything seems to work right up until the actual login shell is
being deployed, I see all of the post bootup messages like 'starting
cron'.

Am I missing something obvious?

Do you have anything like

crw--w--w-  1 root tty 5, 1 1999-09-11 02:56 console

?

Did you try

T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

(115200 instead of 9600)?
