Aha, Indeed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/root/dev$ ls -l ttyS0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 pmjdebruijn pmjdebruijn 13 2006-07-14 10:57 ttyS0 -> /rw/dev/ttyS0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/root/dev$ The ttyS0 is a symlink, to a file which doesn't exist. My /rw is totally empty. So /dev contains broken symlinks. That will most likely be the issue. Any clue on how to fix that? Did anything go wrong with my installation?
