I get nothing when connecting my freshly made 9-pin nullmodem cable between my PC and the Netwinder. I use minicom, and 115200 8N1 with no flow control. Minicom says 'offline' in the lower right corner. I expected it to go 'online' when the netwinder was turned on. > As well you might want to make certain that the RAM is seated properly. Eh, where is the RAM? I did not see any RAM when I opened the box. Do I need to remove the HD to find the socket? > Now what do you see on the serail console? And we can go from there. Nothing. :( Not even sure if the PCs serial ports are working. Do I need modules loaded with a 2.4.16 kernel? There is no serial ports listed in /proc/interrupts, only /proc/ioports. I tried lo laod generic_serial, but it did not have any effect. Any clues to spare?
