There's no native serial port on the machine :-/

I've EARLY_PRINTK set, but other than the edd probing message
I don't see anything.

I really don't think that it's the kernel's fault, because _all_
new versions I compile instantly reboot.

Last one I tried was v2.6.29-rc8-241-g65c2449 (linux-2.6).
Isn't there some flag to enable step by step execution (like in gdb)?

Or is somebody else using Debian squeeze with latest updates?

Sincerly,

Nico
