When I got the custom made RS232, I asked the hardware person to make it for me since I don't have the necessary materials to cut it. And the cable colours are all different from whatever examples that I could find it on the internet.
So, I asked him to help me do the cable based on the pinouts diagram at Building a Serial Cable.
I was really hoping that using custom sketch on SparkFun to go into the LINUX OS would solve the problem. Or at least get to know the reason why it hangs after i managed to get into LINUX using this method.
I guess, my last resort would be using the LAN cable?
