Re: [Leaf-user] Serial question
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. Yes, serial support was pulled out of the Dachstein-small kernel, along with various advanced routing features to save space. The previous Materhorn and Eiger kernels had substantially more features enabled by default. Combined with UPX compression of the kernel, the Dachstein-small kernel used for the floppy distribution is 138,712 bytes *SMALLER* than the previous Eiger kernel (361,430 bytes vs 500,142 bytes). That's quite a substantial savings for a floppy distribution!

RE: [Leaf-user] Serial question
This would be the case, but if I remember correctly, the default kernel that is used, is not one of the small kernels. Not only that, but, the kernel should not matter as long as you are loading the serial in /etc/modules. One thing you might try, if there is a continued problem, try loading the serial module before any network modules. That way, the serial device should take precedence.

I went through the same thing about a week ago. Assuming that you are using the floppy-disk version of Dachstein rather than Dachstein-CD, the problem exists because the Dachstein-small kernel on the floppy doesn't have serial support rolled into it. Download one of the available Dachstein-normal kernels from Charles' web site and that should take care of it. I used WINIMAGE to transfer this to my floppy disk image, then renamed it linux.

Re: [Leaf-user] Serial question
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.
