Re: [iPAQ] stowaway with fam 0.5alpha

Jim,

Unfortunatly I wish it is that simple. But my problem is that I have
already commented out the entire getty line from inittab, and I still
have no results. stowd complaines "Can't set line disciplin: Device or
resource busy" and I can't figure out what is using ttySA0. I've also
removed the console=ttySA0 from the bootloader with still no joy.

Any ideas??
