Serial console is activated by 'console=ttyS0' (default bautrate is 115200, i think, see more in Documentation/serial-console.txt). [] > 2. I want temporarly switch off SMP on -686, & try boot. > 3. Maybe use 486 kernel version with SMP support[] Try some older kernels also. ____ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
