Dear Mark, > Are you passing a 'console=' option to the kernel, like 'console=ttyCPM0' or > 'console=ttyCPM1'.
No. I was not passing any option (besides the standard NFSROOT options (root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot= ip=). Actually, the trick suggested by Jean-Fran?ois Simon (disabling the virtual terminals option in the kernel configuration) solved the problem (please see my previous post). Thanks for your interest anyway. Jean-Marie
