Re: 9000/785/C8000 - turn off boot console ttyB0

I've forgotten all the things you've already tried:
already try "console=ttyS0,9600n8" parameter? (specify baud rate)
also try "console=ttyB0"? (e.g. just use PDC to drive serial port)
And then try ",9600n8" with ttyS ports 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (just in case).
Tried all of them without success, but I suddenly noticed something strange:
I get in my kernel log the following messages regarding serial:
[ 8.880000] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
[ 8.964000] brd: module loaded
while if I look at someone else's hppa boot log i see:
[ 7.840000] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
[ 7.924000] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
[ 8.004000] console handover: boot [ttyB0] -> real [ttyS0]
[ 8.076000] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[ 8.160000] brd: module loaded
So I think the kernel doesn't recognize my serial ports. Correct?
Now I also remembered seeing this in my boot log, but never thought
about it that it maybe could be my serial ports :-(

If it can help, complete boot log below.
Thanks in advance!
