Re: [leaf-devel] [leaf-user] trying Bering 4 on WRAP box

[Erich T. <eri...@th...>]

Hi Folks

I am struggling with getting a serial terminal set up on my WRAP box. I
looked at the kernel and it appears that serial support is compiled in.
I modified my inittab in the initrd, uncommented the ttyS0 line

The last thing I see on the screen is init telling me that it is running
local.start, but no prompt. Unfortunately I don't have a network
connection yet to fiddle with the settings.

inittab looks like

# /etc/inittab: configuration.

# Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
::wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2

# /sbin/getty invocations for selected ttys
#
# Format:
#  <id>::<action>:<process>
#tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
#tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

# Example how to put a getty on a serial line (for a terminal)
#
ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 38400 vt100
#ttyS1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 19200 vt100

# Example how to put a getty on a modem line.
#
#ttyS3::respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x0 -s 57600 ttyS3

# Stuff to do when restarting the init process
::restart:/sbin/init

# Stuff to do before rebooting
#::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
::shutdown:/etc/init.d/rc 0

Has anyone ever had success with a serial console at all? I am
suspecting /etc/serial.conf plays a role here, never had to touch it though.

Thanks
