Any chance you can try at a slower speed? You shouldn't need 115200 for a console -- I look after a couple of RS/6000s with serial consoles at 19200, and screen refresh isn't bad. Any chance that you can try without the X and sound drivers? Apart from anything else, you will need to do that to report the problem anywhere. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "We completely deny the allegations, and we're @westexe.demon.co.uk | trying to identify the alligators."
