There are three options: 1. The cable is connected to ttyS1, not ttyS0. 2. The bootargs has errors 3. The cable is not full null modem > Now what I'm trying to do is start the Debian woody installer.

IMHO, you must reduce your space of errors. So. try with a kernel you know it works with console, ie. SuSE kernel: http://mirror.dci.ubiobio.cl/suse/ppc/update/BETA/kernel/power3/zImage.chrp-power3-2.4.16-SMP-3 On OF: 0> boot net console=ttyS0,9600 It should boot and end with a kernel panic complaining a missing root disk. It you can read this message, it's fine and you can follow the procedure (getting the ramdisk from NFS or whatever). I installed Debian booting with SuSE kernel and getting the ramdisk from NFS. -- German Poo Caaman~o mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/chilelindo.html �Hay 10 tipos de personas: las que entienden binario y las que no.�
