writing to serial console
Hi,
I'm trying to write status messages to the serial console as the kernel boots up. I tried writing to ttyS0 in main.c, but the kernel crashes with a paging violation. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks
Lee

Simply use printk() and boot up your kernel with "console=ttyS0" or like that. See ./linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt .

printk() and a serial console. Console output does not occur until console_init(). To debug problems that occur before console_init(), see these patches.
