By default the kernel takes the bitrate as configured in the UART so it should be ok as it works with other kernels without this parameter. The firmware uses 9600 bps. > 0 > boot /pci/ethernet:, console=ttyS0,9600 > > > > And another "more then skipping to the next message" : > > Are bootstrap serial port and Linux ttyS0 the same device? > Yes, they are. 2 possible reasons for this problem I see : + http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/files/2.6.9-rc2/*.diff are not applied + support for 8250 serial and console is missing. I wouldn't expect that as all other prep platforms I know of use a 8250 compatible UART. A self-compiled 2.6.11.6 fai kernel works fine. Cheers, Peter (p2).
