The DachStein kernels do not include serial console by default. At least the tiny ones. Check out Charles's website for more kernels. I'm sure you'll find one with serial support built-in. Just copy it to the floppy, provided that you have room.

I followed the Serial-HOWTO on lrp.steinkuehler.net and I'm still not getting console messages on my dachstein 1.0.2 floppy setup... however, from the boot logs... Jan 29 00:39:40 firewall kernel: Warning: unable to open an initial console. Jan 29 00:39:40 firewall kernel: Serial driver version 4.27 with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ enabled\ So to me it looks like it's trying to find a console, /then/ initializing the serial port. I start the serial port with the serial.o module referenced in /etc/modules ... is there a way of doing it so it initializes earlier in the boot process? Also... The weblet-cgi failed to respond when my logs-ramdisk filled... is there any way of automatically purging the logs when it fills the ramdisk? Thanks. -david _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
