[RESOLVED] [OK6410] login prompt on serial console

[lang2]

Hi all,

I managed to boot ALARM with this device. But I only have a login console on the LCD. The board has samsung drive that uses ttySAC0 for the serial port. So I modified inittab to:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 's0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 115200 ttySAC0 linux')

It didn't work though. Also, on the serial port, I got these messages:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
INIT: Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "s0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
')

Any help?

Thanks,

Is it in /etc/securetty too?

It wasn't. But adding it didn't make a difference.

solved! there is no /dev/ttySAC0 device after boot. But kernel takes "console=ttySAC0,115200" without a problem.
Switching to s3c2410_serial0 and was able to login fine. yeah.....
