Bug#332559: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686: Serial not working
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: important
Classified 'important' as the 2.6 kernel package will not work with
console=/dev/ttyS0,19200n8.
Verified to be a kernel issue by using the 2.4.27-2 package with
identical configuration.
System runs on a PIIX4 chipset, with a serial console supported by the
bios.
Minicom was used to test the link, and does not work in 2.6, but does in
2.4. The login prompt and all data after entering the initrd is
garbage.
