It seem correctly but these days I discovered an error message in the boot.msg
Kernel logging (ksyslog) stopped. Kernel log daemon terminating.
Boot logging started on /dev/tty1(/dev/console) at Wed Feb 11 08:21:04 2004
this is normal

this is only a warning. Do you have a smartlink Softmodem configured?
Configuring serial ports... ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS3 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument
i don't know about this one, probably setserial which is called from /etc/init.d/setserial has problems with the irda port.
Configured serial ports failed<notice>exit status of (setserial boot.proc) is (1 0)
Do you have any idea ?
not really, also i don't know why the slmodem modules are loaded, maybe they interfere with the serial ports, you never know with such binary only things :-) Did you try my suggestion with "screen" on both sides and the nullmodem cable between the machines? Of course you can also try minicom or some other terminal program. The problem may be that "cat" does not set up the serial ports correctly, so it may sometimes work but fail on the next try. -- Stefan Seyfried
