Re: A PPC kernel issue with UART ??

Johnson,

You know what? I've had the exact same problem only day or two ago. I
think the mail subject was "serial console" or something similar. Have
a read at it.

BTW, My problem was with interrupt setting.

I meet a wired UART problem on linux-2.6 with MPC8241 chip.

My Environment is as following:=20

Linux: 2.6.12.3

COM1 offset: 0x4500, COM2 offset: 0x4600

When I booting my rootfs, it hangs at following message:
=20
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
=20
Freeing unused kernel memory: 104k init
=20
EXT2-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended

I had add printk in tty_write() of drivers/char/tty_io.c, the message fro=

rootfs have printed.

The conclusion is that message can be printed by printk() in linux kernel=

but can't be printed by printf() in user mode. I think it must be somethi=

wrong for my UART configurations, does anybody know it??
