You will also need to comment the getty line in /etc/inittab: # Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal) # T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 38400 #T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100
In the above case, T0 needs to be commented. Some of the ALIX boards have a second serial port, but using them might require soldering in a header. There is also a LPC Bus header that could support more serial ports. Has anyone been able to make use of the LPC Bus?
