I still say 'so?'. It works - "if it it ain't broken, don't fix it"... >> But I'm still in trouble here.

I CAN'T use the serial console, because there's nothing THERE... Either because the serial port (or the chip) is broken, or because I didn't set it up correctly. > I am not sure the debian-powerpc mailing list is the best way to solve these > problems though, have you tried the bplan/genesi tech support ? Not yet. I always try the (opensource/web) communities FIRST before trying the 'get help from a company' (which usually suck - "you do not have paying support, piss of" kind'a). I'll have a try with them and see if they can help out... Thanx. I'll get back to you about the kernel if I ever get this sorted out. -- South Africa Qaddafi radar Iran Waco, Texas explosion 767 Khaddafi quiche Cocaine critical Uzi nitrate terrorist cracking [See http://www.aclu.org/echelonwatch/index.html for more about this] [Or http://www.europarl.eu.int/tempcom/echelon/pdf/rapport_echelon_en.pdf] If neither of these works, try http://www.aclu.org and search for echelon. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
