Hello,
I have ICOP`s Mity-Soc Development Kit and Mity-Soc 4 module (DM&P ALI M6117D A1). I tried to install XLinux
dd if=XLinux41.dd of=/dev/hdb count=16000 bs=1024 sync
After that, I remounted my hdd as the master and turned on my computer. Everything was OK - XLinux R41 started and I could log in. But, when I mounted that hdd on my Mity-Soc Development board nothing happened. Hdd scratched for a moment, LCD showed a few digits and finaly LCD showed "00". Nothing else happened.

I tried to install XLinuxR3 with
dd if=XLinuxR3.dd of=/dev/hdb count=15944 bs=1024 sync
It ran correctly on my computer, and Mity-Soc too. I don`t have VGA on Mity, so I set up Linux to use serial console. I connected Mity Development Board with my computer by RS232 crossed cable. After running "minicom" on my computer, I saw "(none) login:" -- everything was OK, XLinuxR3 on Mity was communicating with my computer. But there was one problem -- I could only see "(none) login:" once a few minutes. When I was typing on my keyboard, nothing changed. I tried to send something to serial port by "echo 'root' > /dev/ttyS0", but it did nothing. It seems that Mity Soc sends data to my computer, but I can`t send data from my computer to Mity. To use serial console, I changed following files on LinuxR3:
file: /etc/inittab I added: tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tty1 tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tty2 ::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600
file: /etc/securetty I added: ttyS0 ttyS1
file: /etc/lilo.conf I added: append="console=tty1 console=ttyS0,9600n8"
after that I ran "lilo".

My questions are.
- Why XLinuxR41 doesn`t run on my Mity Soc?
- What should I do to use serial console on XLinuxR3?
I prefer to use the smallest release of XLinux, but with serial console.
I will be glad, if you reply. Thank you very much for the time you spend answering my questions.
Ralf.
