Okay, then.
I have put a serial port debugging build at:
http://www.zytor.com/~hpa/syslinux/syslinux-4.01-pre91.tar.gz
Use a null modem cable to connect the test system to the logging host.
You can use any common terminal program to log the output on the other
end; set the terminal program for 115200-N81.
I tend to use "screen" on a Linux box. If your serial port on the
logging host is /dev/ttyS0, then run:
screen -L /dev/ttyS0 115200
I believe the logging output will end up in a file called screenlog.0
(unless I misremember).
When you're done, press Ctrl-A q to quit screen.
Note: this build should produce *lots* of output. If it doesn't,
something is wrong.
