I've got a headless Ultra Enterprise 2 that I'm trying to install Gentoo on.
There's no video card nor keyboard attached. The serial console is on ttyb, because ttya is broken. I get to eeprom just fine, and can boot to the silo prompt. The system boots through single-user, then starts L3, and hangs. INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 [ ok ] * Starting syslog-ng... [ ok ] * Hardware detection started... * ... [ ok ] * Not Loading APM Bios support.... [ ok ] * Coldplugging input devices... [ ok ] * Coldplugging isapnp devices... [ ok ] * Coldplugging pci devices...** can't synthesize pci hotplug events [ ok ] * Coldplugging pnp devices... [ ok ] * Coldplugging usb devices... [ ok ] * Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP.... [ ok ] * Auto-scrambling root password for security... [ ok ] * Starting local... [ ok ] Well, it's not hanging, I'm sure, just not displaying a login prompt, because it's trying to put one on ttyS0 -- which is broken. How do I force login on ttyS1 ? I've tried using the console=ttyS1,9600n8 but that stops printing at "mem_init: calling free_all_bootmem" and just 'hangs' completely. Help! -- [email protected] mailing list
