Eric,
 I add second serial_x.c to support com2. then it works well.

The "Firmware type: LinuxBIOS" only comes out in COM1.

Which segement print " Firmware type: LinuxBIOS" ?, it seems hardcoded to
use 0x3f8.

Regards

YH

Subject: [Etherboot-users] Direct message to com2

Who has met such problem?

I changed the linuxbios to direct message to com2 via changing 
1. SP1 to SP2 in auto.c
2. enable com2 in Config.lb
3. change 0x3f8 to 0x2f8 in Options.lb

Etherboot change 0x3f8 to 0x2f8.

Then After Ethertboot get the elf image from tftp server, it will hang a
while (30s) at "Firmware type: LinuxBIOS", and that message is not shown.

I remember several months ago, when I make message comes to both ports (COM1
and COM2), it worked well....

Weird.

Regards

YH
