I am attempting to run a Dachstein image on a system that will eventually not have a keyboard and monitor. I'm actually having great fun with it this weekend, but there is one thing I can't seem to resolve without help.
Following the Howto's and FAQ's, I run into a problem almost immediately. When I type the example echo from the guides, # echo "Hello World" > /dev/ttyS0 I get in return cannot create /dev/ttyS0: error 19 The device is in fact there when I do an ls, which is reaffirmed by my later actions (please see below). I went ahead and took the other steps except attempting to get the boot messages to show up on ttyS0 (which I am not expecting to do. read that thread too). I examined all the related mailing list threads, and acted on the advice there as well. Specifically, I did the following: -placed a copy of serial.o in /boot/lib/modules -edited /boot/etc/modules and added serial -edited the inittab serial line example to say T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 19200 vt100 -added ttyS0 to the securetty file. -attached another computer with a terminal emulator to com1 via a null modem connector and serial cable. -backed up all my changes and confirmed that they were still there after I rebooted. -added console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8 to the append line in syslinux.cfg -at one point added the following serial 0 19200 0 to the top of my syslinux.cfg file too. That caused the DF logo and initial info to show up on the terminal, so I know the cable connection and baud rate is fine. But it stops there (no prompt). It also caused an "Unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg." error, so I removed it. needless to say, I get the Id "T0" respawning too fast... message too. But I believe this is a result of the first "error 19" issue I mentioned. Any help on what appears to be the last issue I have managing this system by serial connection would be extremely appreciated.
