Bug#622779: sparc config missing SERIAL_8250{,_PCI}
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-sparc64
Version: 2.6.32-31
Hi,
/boot/config-2.6.32-5-sparc64 does not include CONFIG_SERIAL_8250
or SERIAL_8250_PCI, so it's impossible to use PCI cards with serial ports
on them, which is useful for accessing e.g. serial consoles of other
machines from a sparc machine.
This used to be impossible (upstream), but the issue that had caused that
has long been fixed. (We got it to work in March 2009, judging by a
/boot/config-2.6.28.7 of mine.)
Please add this so that the PCI serial cards in lebrun.debian.org
and schroeder.debian.org stop being useless with the default kernel.
TIA :)
