Um, what do you think happens if you use HW flow control and then disconnect the cable? Perhaps you should turn that off. OTOH, I didn't know you could get the kernel to use flow control on a serial console. -- -| Bob Hauck -| "Reality has a well-known liberal bias." -- Stephen Colbert -| http://www.haucks.org/

Perhaps you should turn that off. That should not disable Linux. Flow control is limiting the data put onto or received from the serial cable. >OTOH, I didn't know you could get the kernel to use flow control on a >serial console. >-- > -| Bob Hauck > -| "Reality has a well-known liberal bias." -- Stephen Colbert > -| http://www.haucks.org/
