Ah, ok, and load the legacy_serial module. Going from built-in serial to modules I was already challenged to find serial_core, 8250, 8250_pnp and/or 8250_pci (the help in "make menuconfig" does not seem to show the help that is written in the Kconfig file for 8250_pnp and 8250_pci). > For 2.6.23, we reverted my patch that caused the names to be swapped: > > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=57d4810ea0d9ca58a7bcc1336607f0cede0a2abf Thanks for the information - I wondered how you decided. What about 2.6.22.x? Or should the distro kernels use that revert patch for their stable 2.6.22 kernels? Regards...
