 |
|
Hello all,
after migrating a V120 from kernel 2.4 to the current 2.6 (Gentoo-Sources) all runs smoothly, except I´m no more able to bind agetty to the serial port for console access...
Maybe I have missed to include a vital option in the kernel config, so it would be nice, if someone could post a working config (or sections) so I can check what is missing.
Thanks! |

cat /etc/inittab
cat /dev/ttyS0 (to test that it exists)
poly-p man

Thanks for giving a hint, but I have to comment out the inittab entry to stop the moaning of respawning to fast, agetty could not open /dev/ttyS0, the device is missing, thats the reason for my assumption for a missing kernel option.
Please check my part of config:
| Code: |

#
CONFIG_SERIO=y
# CONFIG_SERIO_I8042 is not set
CONFIG_SERIO_SERPORT=y
