Hello, I have a couple I2's I would like to run Debian on. I am having trouble with the serial console. I am able to view the machine starting up through Hyperterminal on my Windows PC but I am unable to type to the console. On the I2 I have "setenv console d1". On the PC my term settings are 9600 8 N 1, no flow control. I get to where I am prompted to hit <ESC> for system maintenance and I press it repeatedly but I get no response, the I2 continues to boot IRIX. My cable is connected like so:
I2 8 Pin Mini DIN Pin 3 (TD) to PC DB9 Pin 2 (RD) I2 8 Pin Mini DIN Pin 4 (SG) to PC DB9 Pin 5 (SG) I2 8 Pin Mini DIN Pin 5 (RD) to PC DB9 Pin 3 (TD) Can anyone help? Thanks, Jason
