Kernel booting problem.

[Sri Ram Vemulpali]

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.
