Hi,

I'm embarrassed to ask this newbie question, but I'm at my wit's end: I've =
configured a serial console according to the handbook. I see the boot messa=
ges and get the login prompt. But at no point during the boot process does =
the console seem to accept any input, incl. when at the boot prompt. The sa=
me serial setup works fine with other boxes.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lars=
