From other messages to the d-kernel list today: Sven Luther: Benjamin, BTW, there seems to be some issue about pmac_zilog and the normal serial controller, that if both are builtin the kernel, then the PC serial controller will take priority over pmac_zilog, and this second one will not work. Benjamin Herrenschmidt: None currently. It's an old issue. The new serial core cannot deal with 2 drivers wanting to share the same major device. The only solution would be to allocate a new major for pmac_zilog (or steal one that is only used by a non-ppc arch, doesn't sparc has a separate major for zilog ? we could re-use that ....)
