To use the E55 (or family) as a diskless server, it works (so you can reduce noise at the meantime, the disks cannot be accessed in Linux - yet !). For such a diskless operation, you need - serial console - ethernet - core system All three things are running under Linux. Again, you can use the PDC CONSOLE driver OR the MUX driver. Both are accessed via ttyB0 at the moment.
