Here are the details: Setup serial console as follows: o Added to /etc/make.conf BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 115200 BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x3F8 o make world;make install new kernel o write new bootblocks bsdlabel -B da0s1 o Added to /boot/loader.conf console="comconsole" When the machine boots the console output is directed to the serial port as expected (speed changed to 115200) up to this point: Starting background file system checks in 60 seconds. Tue Jul 13 10:05:06 EDT 2004 em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex At this point there is no login: prompt on the terminal. A login appears on the vga output of the machine and it is possible to login if its booted with the keyboard attached. If the keyboard is not attached at boot time, the login: prompt is displayed but attaching the keyboard at this point does not give keyboard control. If the machine is then rebooted, the console output associated with the reboot is displayed on the serial port: JJJboot() called on cpu#1 <-- 'JJJ' just some garbage chars Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `vnlru' to stop...stopped Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `bufdaemon' to stop...stopped Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process `syncer' to stop...2 2 2 1 1 0 0 0 stopped syncing disks, buffers remaining... done Uptime: 4m30s Shutting down ACPI Rebooting... cpu_reset called on cpu#0 cpu_reset: Stopping other CPUs Any more thoughts on this are greatly appreciated. -kim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
