Horms, Thanks for the attention.
Your note mentions a kernel that doesnt exist (2.6.26-5.99.sarge1). however, I made a guess at your intent being the 2.6.12-5.99 kernel, and tested it. I recorded a session log from the system. It has a bios-managed serial console, so an ansi viewer would be optimal. However the information that really matters is readable via plaintext. http://jbevren.net/screens/4debian.txt is the report. I didnt attach it as it's rather lengthy. -David --- Horms <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Oct 06, 2005 at 10:27:24PM -0500, root wrote: > > Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 > > Version: 2.6.8-16 > > Severity: important > > > > > > Classified 'important' as the 2.6 kernel package will not work > with > > console=/dev/ttyS0,19200n8. > > > > Verified to be a kernel issue by using the 2.4.27-2 package with > > identical configuration. > > > > System runs on a PIIX4 chipset, with a serial console supported > by the > > bios. > > > > Minicom was used to test the link, and does not work in 2.6, but > does in > > 2.4.
