What about when you are using the port for serial gdb and didn't boot from it? What speed will it be set to then? I often use serial gdb way before I can think about setting the speed with sysctl and debugging over 9600 is pointlessly painful. That's what the sysctl is for. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd. Phone: +44 181 951 1891 Fax: +44 181 381 1039
