Dear Andrea,

what about netconsole on ARM architecture?
netconsole does not depend on a specific processor architecture.
In my understanding, as Ethernet interface management is different from ppc, it does not work out of the box. Do you confirm this?
There should be no relevant differences. If you check which files contain NC specific code you will see that there is no hardware dependend code involved:
-> find * -type f | xargs egrep -l CONFIG_NETCONSOLE common/devices.c drivers/netconsole.c include/devices.h include/configs/TQM860L.h net/net.c
But I haven't run any tests on ARM myself (I think it was tested on the "trab" board, but I may be wrong).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
