Hi,
I am trying to port linux 2.4 devel to ML403. I have used advices from this mailing list and some websites and finally got to th epoint where everything seems find except I cannot get the boot prompt. I have used busybox 1.0.1 and it seems init runs well, rcS runs well and afterr that I do not get the prompt. I have activated the askfirst line in inittab and I am asked to hit enter to go further but all I get is, automatically, without hitting the keyboard, is a weird succession of characters (see log below). " .=2E. TCP: Hash tables configured (established 4096 bind 8192)
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended

I do not seem to have any echo. I have the console node defined in /dev. Has anyone an idea as to what I have done wrong ?
Best regards,
