serial console not accepting input?

[Eggert, Lars]

Hi,

I'm embarrassed to ask this newbie question, but I'm at my wit's end: I've configured a serial console according to the handbook. I see the boot messages and get the login prompt. But at no point during the boot process does the console seem to accept any input, incl. when at the boot prompt. The same serial setup works fine with other boxes.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lars
