At last I am able to login as root & work on the linux console. I had to change the baud rate to 38400. Because Linux was opening the serial port at 38400 bauds (understood it by going through the init scripts at /etc). Cheers, -Mike. >From: "Michael Anburaj" >To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org >Subject: Re: Linux for MIPS Atlas 4Kc board >Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 00:31:07 -0700 > >Hi, > >>MIPS_RedHat7.1_Release-02.00.tar from >>ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/mips/installation/redhat7.1/02.00 >> > >Thats not the right one.
