Bug#375499: rootskel: Add support for IBM POWER serial console.
Package: rootskel
Version: 1.32
Severity: important
Tags: d-i, patch
Please find attached a patch, which adds support for detecting the /dev/hvc*
virtual serial consoles on recent IBM POWER machines.
The /dev/ttyS* was added on Bastian Blank's request.
It would be nice if this most trivial of changes could be included before he
beta3 was out.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
