In /dev, I have created a symbolic link console -> >/dev/ttyS0. I'm not sure you should make this link. The kernel might want to ask it for characteristics, which a serial port will not have. Why not just create the /dev/console device, since Linux will not write to it anyway. Also have you tried booting this kernel from disk with the only the devices you have in the NFS root? You may be missing some important device like /dev/null or /dev/zero. =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Ken Yap <ken@nlc.net.au> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
