From: Johnny Hung To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org, linux-embedded@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 705 Lines: 17 Hi All: I have a powerpc arch platform. The default console is ttyS1 not ttyS0 in the platform. My question is how the kernel print debug message like DBG before parse kernel command line and do console_setup function. The command line passed to kernel about console info is console=ttyS1. So kernel can not print anything before parse cmd line and initial console but the result is against. Anyone point me or give me a clue is appreciate. BR, H.
