hello: I have recently tried adding serial console support to my Bering 1.0 LEAF box. This is a dual floopy setup, and loads in a number of packages so I aslo have my package list in a "lrpkg.cfg" file, not in the "syslinux.cfg" file.
Anyway, I followed the instructions in the Bering user's manual for serial line support, specifically I added the "serial 0 19200" and "append=.." lines to syslinux.cfg Now, when i boot the system and try to use LRCFG and go to packages (choice 3), the package list only list one thing - "initrd". the other packages all appear to load, and they firewall seems to be ok in all other respects. when i look at "/var/lib/lrpkg/packages" i do not see a list of packages anymore. there is only one line "Installed - root /dev/fd0 etc /dev/fd0 ....." (sorry about this quote, it may not be exact, but what it looks like is the output you see when the OS starts to load the packages during the boot up process). if i replace the syslinux.cfg file with the original one, the lrcfg, and package list files return to normal, and all the packages are listed. Unfortunately, i don't have my serial console here yet (i have to go get it, and i have stored away the monitor and keyboard i was using before), so i can't easily see the messages during boot right now, but will if this may be of help. anyway, i am not sure what is wrong. i assume the /var/lib/lrpkg/packages file is created during startup, but why would adding the "serial" and "append" lines to the syslinux.cfg change this? thanks for any help ted w. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
