Hi Elvis, For my Freescale QorIQ e500v2 target, the use of getty inside init / inittab has been broken for awhile. I used to get the hangs you're reporting, but now I also see the following at the conclusion of init: serial8250: too much work for irq42 I'm glad you're working this issue, and I'll try to jump in this week. My workaround has been a hack to inittab to replace getty with /bin/sh - most of my work is done across the network via ssh to the target, so I didn't mind ignoring the problem. Bob
