Hi Mike, I followed the threads on hardware-wp. The last information I read was that you have to do some SMD soldering to get the write protection feature. I think that this is not well suited for many people as you need some soldering experience to do this. The last information i got from

Bering just uses the hard disk as a booting source. The actual OS is run in Ramdisk, meaning you share part of your system's memory as a virtual disk. The 6MB refers to the size of your ramdisk. In syslinux.cfg after initrd=initrd.lrp add syst_size=10M. 10M being 10MBytes is just what I have

Jerry, With the limited info available, my best guess would be that you do not have a kernel with Serial Port support compiled in. Check the Dachstein ftp site for a kernel with serial port support. If this is not the problem please follow the guidelines for providing us info
