Thanks for the replies again. This time the problem is in tty specification. Kernel supports console=tty0 (virtual terminal), where as my inittab has entry ::sysinit:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 vt100. I have to change the ttyS0 to tty0. Once I changed this, I got login prompt. But I do not understand how we tell kernel to use ttyS0 over tty0. Because in kernel config I selected was ttyS0 but it is using tty0. Weird? Thanks, Sri. On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 4:24 PM, Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> wrote:

Now the current problem is, I am stuck on, unable to get console. I got stuck after sshd (I want dropbear daemon on my machine), it seems sshd got started, but no prompt is displayed. I think I should get console control. Any ideas.
Which prompt is missing? Can I assume ssh works? If the hardware / video terminals aren't starting, I suggest having a look at your init scripts (that's where getty and friends are started).
