I posted a patch for via-cuda & xmon sometime last year (can drag 'em out if you like). ---- basic instructions: go to arch/ppc/xmon and edit start.c to enable output to both bootx screen & the console (and a serial port as well if you like). It's kinda grape-shot - but if there's any form of oops you will probably see it this way. You have to do a little hack to get output on bootx screen & console simultaneously. I can post a patch if it's tricky. ---- I keep wondering if it's worth asking Paulus to consider making the different xmon output options CONFIG_XXXX instead of a file edit. It gets tedious if you pull every other day. hth, Iain. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
