I am trying to debug two issues with the look and feel of a serial console
on a IBM PowerPC 405GP Walnut board.
Issue 1)
- After the first few lines of text spew out for user-space
process kick-off, the end-of-line characters get translated
incorrectly:
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
The system is coming up.
Network daemons: portmap.
NIS domain: borg-nis
NIS daemons: ypbind.
Linux (walnut)
walnut console login: .
NFS daemons: automount.
Internet daemons: ine
td.
Log daemons: syslogd klogd.
RPC daemons: rstatd rusersd.
Other dae
mons:.
I suspect that the problem is with my /etc/gettydefs file:
#
# Line settings and hunt sequences for TTY ports used by getty.
#
#
# <speed># <init flags> # <final flags> #<login string>#<next-speed>
#
# Serial Console entry
console# B9600 CLOCAL # B9600 SANE TAB3 CLOCAL #\r\n\n at S console
login: #console
Does anyone have a more reasonable /etc/gettydefs. I suspect I
might need ONLCR?
Issue 2)
- The console prompt from getty comes up before the daemons
executed by the scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d are finished (see
above example). I suspect that there's a possible problem in my
/etc/inittab:
#
# System V init run level process control file
#
# Default run level
id:3:initdefault:
# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
# System console
co:123:respawn:/sbin/getty console console
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Grant Erickson
