The 'S' is from 'Sep 1 hh:mm:ss hostname ...'. It's a kernel message. Unfortunately, the serial line is flushed before you get to see more than just the S. This typically seems to happen when the console is closed at about the same time (i.e. when a process exits). In your case it's probably a message that tells that /sbin/init died or maybe /sbin/getty. If you don't get a login prompt, make sure you enable getty on the serial device that you use as the console.

It helps to send dmesg output and everything else you can capture from the serial console. We don't emit html in the kernel, so I don't know what you mean with ''i get some "html" output'' and since the kernel can panic in varying ways, it also helps to show us the actual panic. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
