This is my setup using kermit. I prefer kermit over minicom. I have yet to be able to get linuxbios booting (due to mtd issues), however, here's my setup that works with the normal kernel boot. You might need to augment the speed to 9600 or 19200 instead of 115200.
/etc/lilo.conf contains: append="console=ttyS1,115200"
~/.kermrc set modem type none set line /dev/ttyS1 set speed 115200 set flow rts/cts set carrier-watch off
You also need to set the speed of the com port via setserial before starting minicom or kermit.
ie:
# setserial /dev/ttyS1 baud_base 115200

nope. Don't use hyperterm, it's useless. You've got to use minicom on linux or youu will find that you are dropping huge amounts of output.

hi there,
Cheers for the reply. I'll get minicom setup. It was late at night that i finally got the K7sem booting, and hyperterm was the only terminal on hand. BTW, do you use any handshaking on the terminal (ie hardware/software/none)?
Thanks again
