That's interesting. The man page for agetty on my Gentoo machine gives this invocation: agetty [options] port [baud_rate...] [term] But then under examples it shows examples for the process field of an inittab file that are exactly the opposite, i.e: /sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS1 I tested by changing the line in my inittab file, like this: c0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty hvc0 38400 linux And it worked. So I think they are both correct. JMW -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
