I have an odd behaviour on a linux system to be used in an embedded sys= tem (no vga, 4 serials) The problem is: booting on a standard pc, using syslinux as the loader, with syslinux.c= fg as follows: serial 0 38400 default linux prompt 0 label linux kernel=3Dvmlinuz append console=3DttyS0,38400n8 console=3Dtty0 root=3D/dev/hdc2 = rw it starts ok, I can read all kernel messages on the attached terminal, ending with: Freeing unused kernel memory: 176k freed serial console detected. Disabling virtual terminals and then runs Busybox v0.6.2 as init. the rcS file in /etc/init.d initializes an LCD display, and /etc/initta= b runs an application that writes on that display. the inittab file is as this: ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS ::once:myapplication All works fine on a PC But when I try this disk (it=B4s really a flashcard) on a SBC (x86 too)= system (no vga), and attaching a terminal to ttyS0, I can see it loads the ker= nel, with all of it=B4s hardware and initializing messages, and the last mes= sage is: Freeing unused kernel memory: 176k freed and the system freezes forever and ever... What else can I do to solve this issue? I=B4m using a 2.4.2 kernel, com= piled with support for serial consoles, (it works ok on a pc...) May be something related to /dev/console??
