Verify that in your terminal program you have flow control turned OFF - if it is on, you will be able to receive the output from the beagle in your terminal, but sending keystrokes will not work. As a test, are you able (with your current setup) to send a keystroke to halt the boot process when it begins?

On the matter of the errors (Buffer I/O errors) I gather that they are normal and it's got to do with Angstrom trying to create a buffer for logging. I'm not sure how to fix it, but Angstrom seems to work for me with these errors occurring. These errors are not why the keyboard input isn't working.

If someone can chime in as to how to resolve these errors in the log, I'd also love to know.

Cheers,
Kai

I had this issue. The /etc/inittab and /etc/securetty files in the
Angstrom image you are using may not match the /dev/ttyXX console
options you are sending in. This stuff is really touchy. If you don't
get it exactly right, it whines.

I don't have immediate access to either of these files, or the
bootargs I use, but at least that's a start.
