[U-Boot-Users] Netconsole at startup

[Robin Gilks]

Greetings

Bit of a puzzle with netconsole operation.

If I undef CFG_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV, then I can boot to the serial console 
and manually switch it to nc and it works great. Problem with that is 
that on boot it just uses the first device that has the correct in/out 
properties - i.e. serial and ignores any env setting.

If I define CFG_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV, then the netconsole stuff refuses to 
run (i.e. it doesn't use serial but it doesn't use nc either!!) - even 
though when checking with the BDI2000 I can see that the correct nc 
devices have been set up in the dev structures. If I start up in serial 
and then try to switch to nc it just doesn't work - it continues to use 
serial.

Any clues from anyone? Should netconsole be able to run from bootup?
