How do I make Linux keep SMC1 at 9600 bps? Then, the kernel prints out some stuff, and after the message: CPM UART is SMC1 (The message is from memory, so it might not be exact.) Output stops for a while, then I get garbage that looks like it changed baud rates on me again. If I look in log_buf, I can see that the kernel did continue up to the point where it starts sending out BOOTP requests. I'm guessing that ouput stops while the kernel is in rs_8xx_init(), which sets up the SMC. Is there something that I should be doing that will fix all of this? I'm using a plain 2.4.1 kernel (from ftp.kernel.org) and my .config file is a copy of arch/ppc/configs/est8260_defconfig. Thanks for any help -- Jay Monkman The truth knocks on the door and you say "Go away, I'm monkman@jump.net looking for the truth," and so it goes away.
