Hi all,

I want to login to my MIPS box = through serial=20 port.

I execute 'make menuconfig' and = select the 'serial=20 console'.

But I can't see the login = prompt in my window(I use=20 netterm).

May I ask how serial console = work?

Or I forget = something?

P.S I skip /sbin/init = program.

= =20 = =20 = =20 Green

Hello, I'm currently porting Linux kernel to MIPS SEAD board, Here are some problems that I've met. My kernel can boot on SEAD board. I've built a ramdisk for my kernel to mount as root-disk. It can mount the ramdisk successfully, when it comes to execve("/bin/sh", ...) it loaded elf-binary normally, but it stop after start_thread(), there is no response anymore. I've tried to put "sash"(a statically linked shell) and "ash"(a dynamically linked shell) and even a simple "printf.c" program(it just print a line of string) into /bin/sh, but all the response are the same. I also put libc.so.6 and ld.so.1 in /lib, these two libraries will load the dynamically linked programs. Such response is like that: after calling do_exec() in src/linux/fs/exec.c it come to search_binary_handler(), the return value is 0, it means this call is success, but my kernel just can't jump into my compiled program. I knew you all are familiar with porting Linux to MIPS architecture. Therefore, i wish to ask somebody that what is the problem with my kernel? what should i take care? Can someone tell me about his/her experience? Thanks a lot.
