indigo2 debian install: tftpboot hangs at welcom screen
I am trying to install a debian 3.0 on an indigo2 and get blocked at
the first screen of the installer...
I got a correct kernel boot (see below) but I cannot "press" the enter
"button" at the welcome script: console seems inactive even if it seems
to be correctly detected:
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
zs0: console input
Console: ttyS0 (Zilog8530), 9600 baud
I tried specifying console=ttyS0 to force, but this does not help...
