Is serial console disabled on recompiled firmware?

[madeinoz]

G'day one and all,

Can anyone tell me if the re-compiled firmware has the serial console enabled? if not how can it be disabled? I'm looking to reuse the the onboard serial device and I don't want it getting all the console "chatter" on reboot.

Regards,

Stephen...

My firmware has the serial console enabled on boot. It can be disabled by changing the kernel options at compile time, and also possibly by changing the options supplied to the kernel at startup, although I am not sure how to change them. It might be worth looking into how the bootloader calls the kernel to see what can be done there.
