The kernel switches independend of your kernel-settings (STI-Console - no STI-Console) to serial-console and just puts some of it's error-messages to the STI-console. If you don't have a nullmodem cable, you could try to ping/telnet your parisc, to see if it's still alive. I currently don't know which change in CVS disallowed us to use just STI-Console, but will try to figure out later today. Helge. > > Thanks, > James
