During my tests, I used modules for sungem and netconsole, and I'm actually quite sure that the chip was up, as I had an ssh session to the remote host... I also tried to issue some stuff via 'netcat -u 192.168.0.4 6666' and it worked. It only looks like the netconsole/netpoll isn't sending anything. > also the link state machine may not have had time to run... Shouldn't be a problem neither, as everything is already up when I do my tests. I'll try find more about all this. Thanks, -- Colin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
