Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... \ And then the serial console stops functioning. This is on PC-Engine ALIX boards, VIA Embedded and anything else that I can find here that only features a serial console (Nexcom, too). Does anyone have any suggestions? My apologies if this is the wrong list. Thanks in advance, Scott
