Yes!  I tried this with several kernel versions (currently 2.6.33), using t=
he option 'console=3Dtty0'.  Works just fine...

Hmmm, iirc, I also saw the effect you have.  I *think* the solution was to =
ensure that all /dev/* files were created manually in the jffs image, not b=
y running mdev (if you use busybox).  But I might be wrong here, sorry.  Be=
ing at home, I don't have access to the device, but I can re-check tomorrow=
.

> 3. Do you know a bug in 2.6.29.2 that could prevent this to work ?

Not sure if I used *exactly* that version w/o serial console, but (iirc) 2.=
6.28.something, and then many different up to .33 - they all work!

Best, Albrecht.
