Dear =?iso-8859-9?Q?Mustafa_Cay=FDr?=,

ELDK 3.1.1 is vry old - and it means that you must be using a 2.4
Linux kernel, whichis also very old.

Please consider updating to current versions.

You provide very little information, so we can only speculate.

Are you sure that /dev/console exists in your target root file
system, and did you run the ELDK_MAKEDEV script when installing the
ELDK?

Also, did you pass the appropriate console=... boot argument to the
Linux kernel?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
