I tried the STI console for the first time on a 712/60 workstation but found a problem in handling console devices. I compiled the kernel with SUPPORT for both consoles, the serial and the STI. Per definition: --------------- If no `console=xxx' the default is `tty0', and the "current" virtual console is used. The user can also select the console via command line parameter for kernel: `console=ttyS0' for example for the serial console. Problem: -------- On the current kernel, if I do not use the `console=' parameter, the kernel does following: Boot,... Output: Switching from PDC console ... And now on the serial line !!!!! the output: Switching to STI console .... Here is the error: Linux know's, it must use the STI but uses the serial console. I have not analysed the code fully, yet. Dependent on my spare time, I can deliver a bug fix or point out the position of the wrong code. ------ By the way: How can I set the 712/60 to use serial PCD console (command `path' does not work for console !)
