I will as soon as I get back to work after the holidays (and have access to the Altix). But I think the only things needed are: (for the d-i kernel) CONFIG_SGI_IOC4=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4=m (for the kernel that will be installed) CONFIG_SGI_IOC4=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SGIIOC4=m CONFIG_SERIAL_SGI_IOC4=m > Also, the link to the 91altix file is broken - is that only for > untarring your modules? If so, then I guess its moot. Sorry for the broken link - should work now. In fact, 91altix is a copy of 90console that is modified to use ttySG0 - the device for the SGI console in the recent kernels (and the script also untar the modules). In the 90console script, the test used is 'readlink /proc/self/fd/0', that returns '/dev/console' on the Altix. So the 90console script dosen't do console related stuff on the Altix and that is one of the reason I created 91altix (should probably be integrated in 90console). > > Why do you need to comment out the makedev lines? Also a console related problem. The real problem is with the '/dev/tts/...' line. When not commented out, I lose the console (stop displaying) when init is lauched. From what I remember, the 'makedev' is done before udev is started and udev then gives a warning about '/dev/tts/0' that is already created. So commenting out the line let udev create the correct '/dev/tts/0' device. I will have to take a closer look at this when back to work. Stéphane
