Glad it's working for you Kory! I'm not positive ( Charles could confirm this) but it seems likely that the Dachsteinn-small kernal was substituted somewhere during the evolution of the Dachstein floppy-disk distro as a space-saving measure.
Prior to last week, I haven't tried to use the serial console since originally configuring EigerStein over a year ago..... so I can't pinpoint where or when the change occurred. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kory Krofft To: HENRY PSENICKA Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 9:01 PM Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] Serial question > Thanks Henry, > That did it.
