Bug#616720: linux-image-2.6-xen-amd64: Feature request -- Serial driver serial8250 as module




 Hello Bastian
 
> > Please compile serial driver serial8250 as module instead into the kernel.

I would like to provide a DomU serial port access according to the xen-wiki.
 

To have access to the serial port in DomU, we need to prevent Dom0 from taken hold of this piece of hardware

add to /etc/hotplug/blacklist the following modules to exclude from being loaded

8250

8250_pnp

serial_core

 

domU config:

irq = [ 4 ]

ioports = [ "3f8-3ff" ]

to load the modules in domU.

 

I tried without unload the 8250 driver and starting the domU resuted in an IRQ 4 error.

 

Kind regards

 

David
