If you change the boot command to: kernel mboot.c32 append sel4kernel console_port=0x2f8 debug_port=0x2f8 --- sel4rootserver you may see the correct output.

Sid> MBR SYSLINUX 6.04 EDD [...] Loading sel4kernel... ok Loading Sid> rootserver... ok Again, check *which* serial port you hooked up. Booting linux, and doing something like stty 115200 < /dev/ttyS0 echo foo > /dev/ttyS0 will tell you if you have serial hooked up right. Possibilities are: -- need to swap Rx and Tx lines on the connector -- talking to wrong port (com2 instead of com1) Peter C -- Dr Peter Chubb https://trustworthy.systems/ Trustworthy Systems Group CSE, UNSW Core hours: Mon 8am-3pm; Wed: 8am-5pm; Fri 8am-12pm.
