After booting up on a walnut 405gp board, the console prints the shell prompt, but does not respond to input. This works ok when I used an older hardhat 1.2 release, but is failing when I try to use something newer. I can telnet in to the system, and can send output to /dev/console or /dev/ttyS0, and I can even open up a shell on /dev/ttyS1. Thus the uart code appears to be correct. Terminal flow control is turned off. Other hints from the mail archives didn't provide any leads.
The relevant line from inittab is /bin/sh < /dev/console > /dev/console 2> /dev/console This problem occurs with kernel 2.4.21-pre6 (via linuxppc-2.4-devel) and 2.4.20-2002-12-04 (from ftp.denx.de). Darin Johnson ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
