Booting rescue_netwinder using serial console

Hi, is it possible to run the installation program over a serial console? I have tried booting my netwinder with rescue_netwinder.bin (2.2.16 I guess) and tried making it use ttyS0 as console but constantly failed. Has anyone succeeded with this, or do I have to untar the base system manually and

ReiserFS Re: wanna-build progress report

Hi, When talking about ReiserFS, does it compile well with the arm kernel nowdays? Last time I tried, about half a year ago there were some bit-manipulation functions which in the i386 kernel were defined as preprocessor macros, but as ordinary functions in arm. This made the utils, like mkfs not

NetWinder an XFree

Hi! Is anyone here using the netwinder with debian and XFree86 as regularly? Is it stable, and if so, on what versions of kernel and x-server? I'm about to start using my netwinder on regular basis as desktop computer and I'm eager to get any hints or similar. // M --- This signature ought to be
