| |
At present it is not possible to boot with the ttyNMI0 console treating character input normally. To use the console requires that kdb be entered and the nmi_console command be used to enable the console (or if only kgdb is present then gdb must directly manipulate the value of kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled).
Introducing a module parameter makes the console much more usable.
