I installed i386, of course. Are you running 6.5 on yours? > > I never had any trouble booting from a serial console.

A few years ago, when I got my Soekris, I changed the BIOS console settings in the Soekris board. Not sure why, and I lost the document where I wrote down the correct settings. I've tried all possible combinations in cu(1) and minicom(1); nothing works, I only see garbage in the terminal. At this point, not sure if my cable is good and don't have another handy. I guess I'll order a new one soon. Perhaps the BIOS tty console is damaged, I don't know. That's why I need to make it run properly and get SSH access. Any ideas on how to debug the kernel load and init process without the serial console? Or better, any kernel parameter I'm missing? Thanks in advance. Alberto Mijares
