I forgot some important issues:
1. a very common none working default is:
in file "/usr/local/pcmcia/config.opts"
around line 18 there is a "#" == comment in a line
"exclude irq 3"
this is no good idea, because most Laptops have two serial interfaces
(one RS232 and one modem/IRC).
So please ensure, that irq 4,3,7 are excluded (no "#" in line)
(irq 5 and 2/9 are allso candidates for exclusion because
of possible conflicts with sound cards)
2. /proc/kmsg can only be readed once! And more worse, cat hang.
you have to force the termination of cat (^C).
Does anybody know a better method of getting the boot-messages into a
file?
Note: I don't have syslogd in my muLinux box!
