But few seconds after enabling netconsole, before launching my scsi test, but after a few console activity the computer freeze hard. Is it a know or expected problem ? (2.6.21 kernel, pcnet32: PCnet/PCI 79C970) Have you some solutions or patch to try ? Will get back my soldering iron to do a serial cable for now.
