As you could see, I once tried the "kernel" name tty0 and the "system" name udbg0, but both failed. Should I try another naming scheme? Or is the problem that the kernel thinks the *whole* boot line is the kernel command line? Anyway, I think there's definitely progress being made here and only the last step is missing. What's your suggestion for the next try? CU, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
