My mistake.. I copied and pasted the wrong line.. This is actually what I have in my inittab: a0:2345:once:/sbin/agetty /dev/ttyS1 -t 60 115200 a1:2345:once:/sbin/agetty /dev/ttyUSB0 -t 60 115200
That part works just fine.. I can log in no problem.. I understand that getting the kernel messages via a USB console isn't reliable. But I can't get the system/rc/initscripts startup stuff via ttyUSB0 either. Or is this just as unreliable.. The only way I get system/rc/initscripts startup stuff via ttyUSB0 is if I set 'CONSOLE=/dev/ttyUSB0' on my kernel command line.. And in that case the baud rate gets changed from 115200 to 9600.. i.e. The issue I'm trying to solve now, is with these messages via ttyUSB0: INIT: version 2.86 booting Setting clock (utc): Tue Oct 30 11:52:40 GMT 2007 [ OK ] Starting udev: [ OK ] Setting hostname A101100369: [ OK ] Checking filesystems Checking all file systems.
