Okay, I just figured out what the problem was. But I don't understand why my
solution should work.
I basically removed the line:
irattach /dev/ttyS2
from my start-up script.
So now it does not load the irda device.
The login prompt appears perfectly.
Can anyone, please explain to me how ttyS2 and ttySA0 interfere????
By the way, I am using the latest kernel from handhelds.org,
microwindows-.89-pre7, bootloader 2.10.5 and latest root and init images.
Thanks,
Sri.
