I haven't had time to look into this yet, in part because I just don't know how well to trust my h/w, but to get SMC1 console working (RPX Lite) I need to enable both SCC1 and SMC1. For your board, I would recommend enabling all of the consoles. And in case others were wondering, the old driver has a different set of issues, at least on my hw, it doesn't see input (and/or it causes a livelock at boot, I haven't tried again in a while). -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
