Since I upgraded my system after three weeks of inactivity and rebooted after
that, my serial port (NS16550 type) is screwed up: I get weird characters
instead of the login prompt on my terminal. However, I can login, and
everything I type is echoed correctly. `cat'ing a file to /dev/ttyS0 gives
garbage, too.
It's not a baud problem. Also kernel messages are displayed correctly (using
console=ttyS0). During the first part of the boot up, boot up messages (from
init) are displayed correctly. Suddenly I start getting garbage.
I'll try to find out which of the startup scripts causes the problem. if
someone else already have an idea, I'd be glad to hear...
Greetings,
Geert
