Hi guys....
I've got a problem with the 2.6.[6,7] kernels
I'm trying to get this machine running with a serial console
Lilo & the kernel seem to start ok but the whole thing
hangs up just after the root FS mount please see attached
I've attached everything I've captured from the serial console....
PS: Yes, It does work when running the output to the internal VGA console

This is not a kernel bug, it's a configuration problem.
Here are the args I pass to 2.6.7 for serial console:
console=3Dtty0 console=3DttyS0,115200=20
Also, my /etc/inittab contains the following:
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt102
Try that.
