Hello Ricardo, Every Bering-uClibc kernel have serial support compiled in, but you have to make sure you enable a getty on /dev/ttyS0 in /etc/inittab.
In other words uncomment: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 19200 vt100 You can comment the following lines: #1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 #2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 Eric > > Ricardo Kleemann wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> >> I'm trying to install Bering uClibc on a net4501.
