Thank you very much for your help so far! Here's an update and another
question:
Updates:
1. Had to attach a console (we have XZ graphics not XL)
2. An ecoff kernel image downloaded fine. The ELF ones download halfway
and fail silently (even with the console attached)
Question: As the vmlinux-indy-2.2.1-990226.ecoff kernel begins the boot
sequence, it hangs at "unable to open initial console." I had unpacked
the filesystem on linux as the FAQ suggests, and my device files look
right. So, on the NFS server, I symlinked /dev/console to /dev/ttyS0.
Now the message is replaced with a cryptic: "S<<<<<"
Perhaps that kernel doesn't have console support? Is there any other
explanation for the "S<<<<<" failure where I used to see "...initial
console?"
I'd like to try a different kernel but I can't find an elf2ecoff binary.
Does anyone have this converted or a known-good ecoff kernel?
Ken
