List-Id: parisc-linux developers list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Hi all, I try to see if pdc_console could be operational on my c110 with kernel 2.6.0-pa5. So I uncheck serial_mux and check pdc_console with make menuconfig (edit also pdc_cons.c to define EARLY_BOOTUP_DEBUG) Then I create the special file "mknod /dev/ttyB0 c 11 0", add "TB0:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttyB0" in /etc/inittab (I also try to apply Richard patch ) But no way to make it works?
