115200 is a bit high speed rate, for testing I would lower that value and
once it works, you can play with this.
Yeah, it is high, that was just my last change, I started at the typical 9600, went to 19200, 38400 and then 115200. All produces the same black window from putty.
I suppose you already rebooted the computer you wanted to connect to,
right?
Many times ...
OTOH, /etc/inittab can be restarted/reloaded by issuing "telinit q", or
at least that was what I used on another distributions, in Debian I'm not
sure if remains the same (reviewing the manual...) hum, yep, it's the
same :-)
This saves me from having to repeatedly reboot the box .... thanks :D
For shiggles, I changed 115200 back to 9600 and used telinit q :D, same thing, black screen, no login prompt
