Hello all,

after migrating a V120 from kernel 2.4 to the current 2.6 (Gentoo-Sources) all runs smoothly, except I´m no more able to bind agetty to the serial port for console access...
Maybe I have missed to include a vital option in the kernel config, so it would be nice, if someone could post a working config (or sections) so I can check what is missing.

Thanks!

cat /etc/inittab

cat /dev/ttyS0 (to test that it exists)

poly-p man

Thanks for giving a hint, but I have to comment out the inittab entry to stop the moaning of respawning to fast, agetty could not open /dev/ttyS0, the device is missing, thats the reason for my assumption for a missing kernel option.

Please check my part of config:

Code:

#
# Hardware I/O ports
#
CONFIG_SERIO=y
# CONFIG_SERIO_I8042 is not set
CONFIG_SERIO_SERPORT=y
# CONFIG_SERIO_PCIPS2 is not set
# CONFIG_SERIO_RAW is not set
# CONFIG_GAMEPORT is not set

#
# Character devices
#
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD is not set

#
# Serial drivers
#

#
# Non-8250 serial port support
#
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNCORE=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNZILOG is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSU is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSAB=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNSAB_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_SUNHV is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_JSM is not set
