Dear Wolfgang,
I searched through latest (Uboot 1.2) doc folder, but did not find kind of text you mentioned: "...some distributives (Fedora Core 5 at least)..."
Also I recompiled Uboot to support NetConsole: I defined CONFIG_NETCONSOLE CFG_CMD_NET (in CONFIG_COMMANDS, wo it I had compiling errors) CONFIG_NET_MULTI (wo it I had compiling errors)
The problem is that when I define CONFIG_NET_MULTI, Uboot does not initialize network at startup - I cant use tftp or any network related. When I "run nc" - serial COM port shell dies, but do not see anything on host (I tried SuSe now)
What are the criteria which defines whether board is capable of netconsole or not? What means CONFIG_NET_MULTI and why network stuff - eth_init(bd_t) - does not launch when it is defined?
I have UBoot 1.1.2 from STlinux.com and 7100mboard
Best regards,
Viktor Volke
