So when I have 'kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2895.uplogix.14 ro root=/dev/hda1 panic=5 console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200', I can do 'echo test >/dev/console' and I see the output on ttyS1..
But when I have 'kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2895.uplogix.14 ro root=/dev/hda1 panic=5 console=tty0 console=ttyUSB0,115200' and I do 'echo test >/dev/console', I get absolutely nothing out of ttyUSB0.. So in my case here, adding 'CONSOLE=/dev/ttyUSB0' to the kernel command line ends up in the environment. So init ends up using CONSOLE as it was set in the environment.. Which I shouldn't have to do. /dev/console should just work.. This isn't distro specific.. This should be set up in the kernel appropriately.. Correct?? Also, /dev/console looks okay to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -l /dev/console crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Oct 31 00:54 /dev/console Thanks...Paul... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
