Currently, in the CVS tree, serial console and STI console cannot be turned on at the same time. This means that a choice between serial/sti needs to be done at compile time. At the time we cut the beta, it was decided that serial console was more important than sti console. I am also working on resolving the problem with STI/serial console and once I have a fix ready, I will make a kernel image available. The current beta CD is also expecting a console on ttyS0 and does not currently open a ttyx getty. When I have a kernel that can decide the console at runtime, I will look into the beta CD issues. If you have any more questions or suggestions, feel free to email me or post on this list. Thank you. - Paul --SkvwRMAIpAhPCcCJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6EaPR8ggPQthPCzcRAhT8AKC8EU8yusyoEvPHxKAQsaM0vMGthwCgnbbC Yz6ZWjq3q9B80bI+YRxc8xo= =HhRZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SkvwRMAIpAhPCcCJ--
