From reading it I gather that all combinations of flags both work and don't work on any, all, or none of the serial ports, and patches to the kernel both are and are not required. :-( Does anybody out there have a working configuration for remote gdb plus a serial console on the alpha? I don't care whether they're on the same serial port or not. Show actual lines from the config file, please, and any necessary patches too. And what is the point of the new flag 0x80 when the existing 0x40 flag is explicitly documented as being for remote gdb? SIO(4): Meaning of flags: 0x00001 shared IRQs 0x00002 disable FIFO 0x00004 no AST/4 compatible IRQ control register 0x00008 recover sooner from lost output interrupts 0x00010 device is potential system console 0x00020 device is forced to become system console 0x00040 device is reserved for low-level IO (e. g. for remote kernel debugging) Thanks, John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
