Remote Serial Console on 2.6.x ?

Remote Serial Console on 2.6.x ?

[Emmanuel Fleury]

Hi,

I was used to debug my kernel code with the remote serial console
facility on the 2.4.x serie, but I really can't figure how does it works
to activate it on the 2.6.0-test9 that I just got.

I took a look at the relevant HOWTO:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/kernelcompile-25.html

But, it seems that all the configure scheme has changed for the 2.6.x...

Can anybody give me some pointers on a documentation or give me some
hints ???

Regards

Hi,

Here's how it looks in 2.6.0-test9:


Device Drivers:
  Character devices:
    Serial drivers:
      <*> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support
          (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y)
      [*]   Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port
            (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y)


HTH.
