No, No ! This problem have I fixed in my tree ! I tried it with both, the correct one /dev/console = 5,1 and the hack ! /dev/console -> /dev/ttyS0 Further I hacked in a test in the kernel. Before it starts `init' or any other process, it tries to open the console (You know, the warning, if this fail). After the open I write out a string using `write (1, )' as check the return value. I see the string on the serial console !! and return value is ok. So the device `/dev/console' IS WORKING in my setup, but the rest is not !!!....
