i'm still wrestling with how to get my 8xx-based board's shell prompt to show up on the console port. i've built a simple 2.6.11.7-based kernel and (busybox-based) root filesystem and, fairly quickly, i realized i needed to use the following kernel boot line:
Linux/PPC load: rw root=/dev/ram0 console=ttyCPM0,9600 as the boot proceeds, i eventually see: Serial: CPM driver $Revision: 0.01 $ ttyCPM0 at MMIO 0xfa200a80 (irq = 20) is a CPM UART ttyCPM1 at MMIO 0xfa200a00 (irq = 46) is a CPM UART which seems to be a good sign. however, after all the standard boot output, i'm left with no shell prompt, and i'm assuming it's just because i haven't correctly started the shell thru /etc/inittab with the correct parameters to have it talk to that console port. what would be the correct invocation of /bin/sh in /etc/inittab to reflect my serial/console port setup above? thanks. rday
