Okay so I tried changing /etc/inittab
from:
1:2345: respawn: /sbin/getty 38400 tty1
to:
1:2345: respawn: /sbin/getty 115200 tty1
Since I was running 115200 everywhere else and this did not help. However I
entered the
boot command and then quickly switched to 38400 and can see text :-). It seems
the OS
is complaining that:
fsck.ext2: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) (/devhda1)
This forces me to read only single user mode (still not sure why it did not use
115200).
My guess is that SUSE 10.3 is doing something wacky on the CF card formatting.
The size
of mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3 is exactly the same which I suspect is a mistake
with the card
getting a ext3 format.
I am running Linux via VMWare Fusion so I will try another distro. I will post
up results
and thanks for the help folks!
