Re: how to see haret working

Hi,

console=ttyS2,115200n8 does not work for me... i have tried other
baudrates, but to no avail... whenever i set the console=ttyS2 it does
not start, i have tried with framebuffer/console on, but it hangs before
fb is initialized... and it does not seem to send anything, as i could
not the IR blinking with my camera.

Danny Norging described in the "irda on the ipaq shell WORKING" thread
the following setup:

(using this, i am able to get a login via ir. (NOTE: i do NOT see the
boot console, communication starts, when linuxrc is executed...))

on workstation:

- stop irda service
- stop all ir* modules
- start minicom with this configuration:
   Serial Device /dev/ttyS1
   Bps/par/Bits 9600 8N1
   Hardware Flow Control No
   Software Flow Control No

in initrd: (using andrews initrd kit)

- remove .initrd/dev/console
- mknod .initrd/dev/console c 4 66

now use this new initrd and when the linuxrc is executed, i see the
output in minicom

Cheers, Patty
