Today came the RaQ1 with 64MB RAM and 10GB HD.

I installed Debian with the kernel above (also changed the default.colo
to point to the new kernel). Installation (on serial console) - no problem.

After installation and reboot the last thing I see in the serial console
(screen /dev/ttyS0 115200) is:

ide: {QUANTUM FIREBALL EL10.2A}
ide: LBA 20044080
ide: supports PIO mode 4
ide: mode 4 timing
ide: partition 1
ext2: revision 0

elf32: 00080000 - 0033701f (802f3000) (ffffffff.80000000)
elf32: 80080000 (80080000) 2687110t + 159642t

No prompt and ssh is not yet installed so I can't get access to the
device. :-( Is there anything missing in the colo config that would
initiate the serial stuff? Do you need any additional information?

The LCD says: "<Date/Time> Debian GNU/Linux" so normal from my point of
view. As I know it from the RaQ2 and Qube2.

Any ideas?

thx!
