Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
ubuntu 9.10amd64 using kernel 2.6.31-14 on x86/x86_64 has something loading at
boot which takes over ttyS0 and normally refuses to release it for use by efax.
In 9.04, efax worked perfectly with a USR5610 modem with a driver converted
from Red Hat by debian. This problem arrived with the 9.10 upgrade.
Note there have been three occasions in the past month when ttyS0 HAS been
released and, in those rare instances, efax has worked perfectly.
Unfortunately, on each occasion reboot has returned the "locked or busy"
situation.
If I could find the guilty package I could perhaps modify or remove it, but I
have had no luck in the hunt.
