Subject: Out of order console initialization on HP CX2600
Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 11:02:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7077.1101898955@ocs3.ocs.com.au> (raw)

This problem has been reported against the SLES9 SP1 Beta3 ia64 debug
kernel on HP CX2600.  The ttySn ports are detected long after
console_init() has run, kdb detects no console and shuts down.

Why do the ttySn ports get detected after console_init() on HP?

Is there anything that can be done to detect ttySn before
console_init()?  EARLY_PRINTK is not an option, the kernel is compiled
for CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC, which disables EARLY_PRINK.

<4>Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=scsi1:\efi\SuSE\vmlinuz-2.6.5-7.118-debug root=/dev/sda4 console=ttyS1,9600n8 ro
<3>kdb: Initialization failed - no console.  kdb is disabled.
