You should be able to get both consoles working. You probably aren't running a login process on the second console. I haven't done this recently, but reading about getty should give you some clues. This used to be controled through inittab but inittab is gone on my desktop so I don't know what controls it anymore. > > > Thanks in advance for any information or guidance. > > Michael Carey > > _______________________________________________ > Linuxppc-embedded mailing list > Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org > https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded > -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
