Ok here's the story: I spent all day puting together this giant text file with various logs and files and results of experiments. Then I found this posting in the mailing list archives that said to download a "normal" kernal from http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/kernels/Dachstein-normal/ . So I downloaded the upx file, re-named it linux and replaced the linux file on my floppy with this new one and...when I echo "hello" to /dev/ttyS0 I don't get an error message. I'm taking this as a good sign. Also in the boot-up messages I see these two lines: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
Perhaps I should post exactly what I did so anyone else searching the archives (like me after I forget in 6 months) can easily find and solve this problem. 1.) Go to http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/kernels/Dachstein-normal/ 2.) download linux-2.2.19-3-LEAF-normal.zImage.upx (i didn't need IDE or IPSec, your milage may vary) 3.) rename it to "linux" 4.) copy it to your working leaf disk, overwriting the existing linux file. (now re-boot leaf) I am using the dachstein floppy edition via "dachstein-v1.0.2-1680.exe". This seems a much better solution than trying to make the stupid serial.o file work. Now it's just a question of installing pppd and having it assign an IP over the serial port. If anybody would like to save me a few hours time please post some good guides (I don't seem very good at finding them) this would be very much appreciated. Isn't there a "get pppd working in 10 steps or less" that doesn't involve some out dated text file? I just put pppd at the end of my lrp= line and reboot? Thank you for your help and patience everyone. bye Keith ===== LiteStep Log: http://come.to/litesteplog/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
