Linux Autostart Problem

Hi,

i'm wondering what i have to do, that linux does succesfully autostart, so that i can log in with telnet?

Linux starts without problem with jtag and nios2-terminal in console. Everything works. When i disable jtag in the kernel it should start when powering the board. I already removed the jtag uart and the debug core in the SOPC.

With this system linux start; i followed the sequence by enabling a led. It also seems that i get a network link, but i cannot ping or telnet the board.

Do i miss something (Kernel config etc.)?

thanks

    changed network driver from smc91x to smc91111. now i can ping. when i try to connect with telnet i don't get a real console; a cursor is blinking. when type something i only get blanks. also tried ftp, but it didn't work; it waits for a welcome sequence.

    You still need a console device after disabling jtag uart console, otherwise the init task will exit and panic.

    You can use Nios serial uart as console, or use Virtual Terminal (actually it can be dummy) as console.
