  • Hi, you should check the /etc/inittab file on the root filesystem. This file should spawn a login process on your serial port. Have a look at this http://linux.about.com/od/ttl_howto/a/hwtttl15t01.htm and make sure your serial port device is set correctly – Dien Nguyen May 29 '12 at 15:07

BeagleBoard by default doesn't enable serial login. As dien mentioned, you need to edit /etc/inittab. But here's a post specifically explaining this for beagle board (see section "Serial Console"). http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=Hitchhikers_Guide_to_the_PandaBoard
