Had to hard reboot. The laptop doesn't have a serial port.
Get a decent laptop :) There is really no way around this, as the usb modules, being modular, are loaded well after when the serial console is set up. and given that usb modules are and should be either in the initrd or even later, there is no way to make what you want work, especially for a generic kernel like the debian one. (and especially not on powerpc, which this has good chances of being since there are few non-apple laptops which dropped the serial port :) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
